AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 12:7 Because of the surpassing greatness and extraordinary nature of the revelations [which I received from God], for this reason, to keep me from thinking of myself as important, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, to torment and harass me--to keep me from exalting myself! [Job 2:6] |
Bible Question: If God tells me His Grace is sufficient for a problem or thorn am I to think He is saying no. Isn't God's Grace all we need to make it? Did Paul later say in II Timothy 3:11 that he had been deliverd from all his afflictions and persecutions so did god say no or did His Grace take care of Paul? |
Bible Answer: If the answer to your specific prayer request is no according to God's will, then His grace alone is sufficient for you to accept whatever His answer is. You should learn and grow spiritually living according to God's will. |
