Scripture reading
To keep me from being conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations there was given to me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me, but He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”
–2 Corinthians 12:7-8
Thought of the Day
In an article on prayer in Guideposts magazine the author wrote a great quote about the changes that occur with prayer. This is what it said.
Prayer may not change things for you, but it sure changes you for things.
In our scripture for today, Paul writes of how he prayed for God to change things. Instead God changed him. He will do the same for you and for me. Trust me.
Prayer
God, Thank you for changing me in Your way. Amen.
