Paul prayed three times asking God to remove the painful "thorn" in his flesh. But God's answer wasn't what he expected: "I won't take it away. Instead, my grace is enough for you."

At first, Paul must have been disappointed. But then he understood something profound—when he was weak, God's power was revealed most clearly.

Haven't we experienced the same thing? When we're struggling more than when we're confident, we find ourselves reaching for God. And in those moments of weakness, we experience His grace more deeply than ever. Our weakness isn't something to hide—it becomes the channel through which God's grace flows most freely.
