Life brings sometimes hurting troubles and painful problems, known as 'thorns in the flesh'. Paul the Apostle begged God for such a thorn of life to be removed but the response from God was "My grace is enough for you".
Several questions arise such as the following:
Why did God respond that way rather than simply remove the thorny problem?
Why does God allow us to be afflicted with a problem?
What actually is the grace of God and how can it be enough for our pains?
What was the 'thorn in the flesh', which Paul chose not to reveal?
Should we be thankful to God for the thorns of life with the often unbearable pains?
Can anything new still come out of the story about the 'thorn in the flesh' of Paul?
