The very thorn that I might ask to be removed from me, could be the thorn that in Him pins me. Then I read this:
Instead of quickly pleading for deliverance, we might more wisely ask God about the purpose of our suffering.
I have always believed and proved the power of prayer. How He honors when I pray a prayer that reaches Him. And it is only through the way of grace. The bible tells us that He wanted us to pray, He wanted to know what's in our hearts, and delights in answering us ( 1 John 5:14,15, Jeremiah 29:12, Mark 11:2, Psalm 102:7)
Now do I ask this pain be removed from me? I pray that His will be done. Not to remove this cup; His will, not mine.
