God Is With Us In Our Weakness · God Is With Us · February 21, 2026
Paul pleaded three times. This was not a casual request. He begged God to remove the thorn. And God said no. We do not like that answer. We serve a God who could remove every problem with a word. Sometimes He does. Sometimes He does not. But His no is not rejection. It is redirection. He said no to removal so He could say yes to something deeper — His grace. If God has said no to a prayer you have prayed, ask Him what He is saying yes to instead.
Lord, when You say no to my requests, help me trust that You are saying yes to something better. Teach me to receive Your grace.
