2 Sides To Every Story

Have you ever felt like God isn't listening to your prayers? Like you're crying out for help, but only getting silence in return? This powerful exploration of 2 Corinthians 12 confronts one of the most universal questions we face in our faith journey: why does God sometimes seem silent when we desperately need Him to answer? Through the apostle Paul's mysterious thorn in the flesh, we discover a profound paradox that turns our understanding of strength and weakness completely upside down. This message serves as a powerful reminder that God's grace is sufficient even when He doesn't remove our struggles. Paul prayed three times for his thorn to be removed, but God said no. Why? Because the thorn wasn't Paul's biggest problem, and the thorn was pointing to something deeper that needed healing.
