2 Corinthians 12:9: 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'
Paul had a 'thorn in the flesh' — we don't know what it was. He begged God three times to remove it.
God said no. But God didn't leave Paul empty-handed. He gave a promise: my grace is enough.
'Sufficient' means enough, ample, more than adequate. Not minimal. Enough for whatever you're facing.
'My power is made perfect in weakness.' God's strength doesn't get displayed best in your competence. It gets displayed in your need.
