Day 11: Strength through weakness

Scripture:
  • 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 To keep me grounded and stop me from becoming too high and mighty due to the extraordinary character of these revelations, I was given a thorn in the flesh—a nagging nuisance of Satan, a messenger to plague me! I begged the Lord three times to liberate me from its anguish; and finally He said to me, “My grace is enough to cover and sustain you. My power is made perfect in weakness.”

Consider:
  • Notice that God doesn’t always answer the prayer exactly how we want it. Why not?

  • What “thorn” is in your life right now? How might God use it to grow your faith?

Prayer focus:
  • Pray that God will help you with any particular suffering or trial in your life right now.
  • Pray that God that you will see God’s power in your weakness.
