🎙️ **Open Heaven Podcast – Episode 92** 
📖 **Series: Perfect Power** 
📅 **Day 92 of 2025 Devotional Journey** 
** *Never Give Up – Grace Is Greater Than the Struggle* 
** 2 Corinthians 12:8-9

In today’s episode of the *Open Heaven Podcast*, we dive deep into 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 where the Apostle Paul shares a powerful moment of vulnerability: he pleaded with God three times for his “thorn” to be removed. Instead of removal, God gave him a revelation—**“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”**

This episode will encourage believers who are battling temptation, recurring struggles, or lingering frustrations. You are not alone, and you are not powerless. God's grace isn't just unmerited favor—it’s **divine empowerment** to help you **walk in victory**. Through this deeper understanding of grace, we learn to trust God’s plan, rely on His strength, and **never give up**—because real change is possible.

As we continue our *Perfect Power* series, we’re learning how to apply grace in practical and transformational ways. Let this teaching be a reminder: **God's grace doesn’t always take away the thorn—but it gives us power to thrive in spite of it.**

**Key Takeaways:**
- What Paul’s “three-time prayer” teaches us about persistence in faith 
- The dual meaning of grace: unmerited favor *and* divine strength 
- How God’s power works best in our weakness 
- Practical encouragement to keep trusting, keep praying, and keep abiding
