Asking

We do this all the time. Focus on what we’re going through instead of what God is doing through it. Or, we’re like Paul - asking God to remove a thorn in our side that He doesn’t seem to want to take away. Maybe Gods answer to you is the same as it was to Paul - “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9.

Don’t get me wrong - there is nothing wrong with asking God to heal you or help you - but you should also ask Him to show you what He wants you to learn through it or to help you trust Him more, or to give you the strength to overcome. After all, the overcoming is a big part of any testimony, right? #overcomer @stevenfurtick @elevationchurch #grace #yourjourneytobeingwhole #shalom #dailydevotional
