ISB ~ 2 Corinthians 12 v9

My grace is sufficient:Paul’s petition for relief was denied (12:8), indicating that his suffering was serving a higher purpose in the plan of God (Rom 8:28). Grace was given him to endure these trials and make him rely upon the Lord. His experience shows that God gives us what we need and not always what we want (CCC 268, 273, 1508).
