“To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations,there was given me a thorn in my flesh,a messenger of Satan,to torment me.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,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."
2 CORINTHIANS 12:7-10
