A Thorn in the Flesh
7Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!8Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. SO HELP A BROTHER OUT ARE OUR SUFFERING SOMETIME OUR THORNS IN OUR FLESH TO KEEP US HUMBLE AND OUR EYES HEAVENLY BOUND ,BECAUSE THE MORE THINGS LOOK HARD FOR ME THE MORE I STAY IN HIS WORDS BUT I PRAY AND TELL HIM MY HEART ABOUT HELPING OTHERS AND THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO DO FOR HIS NAME SAKE AND EVEN THOSE THINGS ARE HARD FOR ME TO DO DUE TO THE FACT I CAN'T EVEN KEEP WORK GOING LONG ENOUGH TO PAY MY BILLS ON TIME AND MY DAILY PRAYERS IS TO WORK TO BE ABLE TO PAY MY BILLS ON TIME AND HELP OTHERS WHO ARE HARD PRESS LIKE ME ,SO I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL THAT BEING HE SEE THE END FROM THE BEGINNING ,I MIGHT WOULD EXALT MYSELF ,SO IS THAT satan TRYING TO KEEP ME IN BONDAGE FOR THINKING LIKE THAT OR IS IT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER KEEPING ME LOOKING HEAVENLY WARD AND I WILL RECEIVE MY REWARD WHEN I MEET HIM FACE TO FACE ,PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RESPONSE LOVE YOU ALL

I GOT TO SHARE THIS ,IT IS PART OF MATTHEW HENRY COMMENTARY
4. We have an account of the answer given to the apostle's prayer, that, although the trouble was not removed, yet an equivalent should be granted: My grace is sufficient for thee. Note, (1.) Though God accepts the prayer of faith, yet he does not always answer it in the letter; as he sometimes grants in wrath, so he sometimes denies in love. (2.) When God does not remove our troubles and temptations, yet, if he gives us grace sufficient for us, we have no reason to complain, nor to say that he deals ill by us. It is a great comfort to us, whatever thorns in the flesh we are pained with, that God's grace is sufficient for us. Grace signifies two things:-[1.] The good-will of God towards us, and this is enough to enlighten and enliven us, sufficient to strengthen and comfort us, to support our souls and cheer up our spirits, in all afflictions and distresses. [2.] The good work of God in us, the grace we receive from the fulness that is in Christ our head; and from him there shall be communicated that which is suitable and seasonable, and sufficient for his members. Christ Jesus understands our case, and knows our need, and will proportion the remedy to our malady, and not only strengthen us, but glorify himself. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Thus his grace is manifested and magnified; he ordains his praise out of the mouths of babes and sucklings.
III. Here is the use which the apostle makes of this dispensation: He gloried in his infirmities (v. 9), and took pleasure in them, v. 10. He does not mean his sinful infirmities (those we have reason to be ashamed of and grieved at), but he means his afflictions, his reproaches, necessities, persecutions, and distresses for Christ's sake, v. 10. And the reason of his glory and joy on account of these things was this-they were fair opportunities for Christ to manifest the power and sufficiency of his grace resting upon him, by which he had so much experience of the strength of divine grace that he could say, When I am weak, then am I strong. This is a Christian paradox: when we are weak in ourselves, then we are strong in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; when we see ourselves weak in ourselves, then we go out of ourselves to Christ, and are qualified to receive strength from him, and experience most of the supplies of divine strength and grace
