The Apostle Paul had a “thorn in the flesh” that ailed him greatly. Three separate times Paul asked the Lord to take the thorn away. However, God chose to not answer Paul’s prayer to keep the Apostle humble. In today’s message from James, Pastor Ed encourages us to ask for healing in prayer. In fact, we should persist in prayer for healing just as Paul did until we get a definite no. We learn from Paul’s story that though the Lord can and does heal all the time, sometimes in God’s wisdom and grace, Jesus does say no.
