I often feel weak. Does this make God angry with me?

2CO 12:7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. [8] Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. [9] But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. [10] That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Brown,<P>The scripture that SueB has quoted says it all. God's word is sharper then a two-edge sword, allow it to cut away the lie that Satan is decieving you with. Weakness to the world is shameful, weakness to God is right where He can begin to show His power. <P>Until we can get out of God's way and let Him work we only make things worse. Our strongest efforts will always fall short. God alone is able to reveal truth and restore the broken.<P>God Bless, Taj

SueB, thank you for sharing this scripture with us. The deceiver has been attacking me regularly with negative and worrying thoughts, so I need to remember these "thorns" can be overcome by God's Power.
