In his second letter to the Corinthian church, Paul refers to a "thorn in the flesh". He does not elaborate on the exact nature of his problem. Paul asks the Lord to remove this "thorn" from his life. God answers his prayer - but not in a way that perhaps Paul had hoped for or expected. Rather God works through his weakness to reveal the power of the resurrected Christ in his life:- And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me. And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me. So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong." 1 Cor 12:8-10, Bible in Basic English May God Bless You Richly
