2 Cor. 12:7-10: To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given 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." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
After reading this passage yet again and studying another viewpoint on it, I finally made the connection that like Paul, I should use my 'thorn in the flesh' to grow closer to God. I am trying to make a conscious effort to use it as a nudge to prayer.
