Read 2 Cor. 12:7-10. What is God’s Word saying to you in this passage? What is God’s heart for His people?

Discuss what Paul meant by a “thorn in his side?” What could it have been?
What would you say is a thorn in your side? (Something physical, emotional, spiritual… or something difficult for you… or something you hate dealing with and you wish it could go away or get fixed)

According to the passage above, what would God say to you?

Satan would love to destroy you through this, but God wants to develop you. How can you surrender to God the thorn in your side?

How can your weakness be an opportunity for God’s power?

You are the most powerful when you are the least reliant on your own strength. How can you do this? How can you practically live this out?

Close in prayer by asking the Lord to be the source for your strength.
