Deuteronomy 32:15-52; Hosea 2:1-3:5 ; Luke 17:20-18:14
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee. 2 Corinthians 12:8-9
Whatever Paul’s affliction, he embraced God’s will for it. As opposed to healing, it was to be a constant reminder of his need for God’s sufficient grace. When we pray for ourselves or others about an illness or matter of grave importance, do we pray for an answer that coincides with our own wisdom, or simply “your will be done”? The prayer of faith longs for God’s will. But it is a process and faith does not grow when we do not continue in prayer
long enough to discover God’s mind. May we pray for His will and accept it when He shares it with us. —K.J.W.
