Sunday's Coming!

Good Morning,

Thank you for your prayers, e-mails and calls. You all help us so much. I continue to struggle daily with health issues, but I count it all joy and claim God's promises.

I was reading this morning and read the following it is my life verse:

Paul's ThornBy Michael Youssef, Ph.D.
After the Apostle Paul pleaded with God to take away his thorn, God responded, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
What was Paul’s thorn? We don’t know. Whatever it was, it really doesn’t matter, but what matters is this: This was no minor irritation. Paul’s thorn in the flesh was a torment day-in and day-out. He was in severe pain.
In 2 Corinthians 11, the Apostle Paul talks about the horrendous things that were happening to him he was shipwrecked, nearly stoned to death, lashed thirty-nine times, beaten, put in prison, and deathly hungry and thirsty and yet through all of this he never prayed to God and said, "God, take these things away from me." Not once do we see him praying that these things would go away. Meanwhile, he persists in prayer over this thorn, whatever it was.It is no accident that the Bible did not tell us what his specific problem was. The Holy Spirit left this out deliberately so that all who go through suffering could identify with Paul. This godly man quietly asked the Lord to intervene and deliver him quickly, just like we often do and there is nothing wrong with that request. However, God’s response was, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Do you believe in the sufficiency of His grace today?
Prayer: God, thank You for Paul’s example of trusting Your grace in his life as he struggled with his thorn in the flesh. Help me to do the same. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
"That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:10).

We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and gifts.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
