3 times

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.

 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. 10 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.

Many of times, we are only familiar with verse 9 onwards, but often we forget the reason why Paul said it earlier. 

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.

Thorns are there to hurt you temporarily and not kill you.

Nikki, coincidentally, we also plead to the Lord on the same in our quiet prayer this morning..
Amen, Dad & Mum
