Thorn in the Flesh
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
When the Apostle Paul asked God to take away a “thorn in the flesh,” God said no. Why? Because Paul’s pain was being used by God for a purpose. When you serve God despite your weaknesses and struggles, you show others the grace of His glory.
God of All Goodness, Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Your grace is sufficient for me.

Navigate Life’s Challenges
God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. “For in him we live and move and have our being.” As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’”—Acts 17:27-28 (NIV)
If your life feels out of control, find a quiet place and take several deep breaths. Focus on what is going on and visualize God in the situation with you. Feel His love and strength.
Dear Lord, You are my Savior, my wise Counselor, guiding me to make the right choices and easing my worries so that I can calmly and confidently navigate through life’s challenges.
