Grace Is Sufficient

This morning in my reading I read these powerful words from 2 Corinthians 12,
...A thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.  Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.  But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 
Therefore (Paul speaking) I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  For the sake of Christ, then I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities.  For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)
As I read through these words it brought to mind a song by Shane & Shane titled "Grace Is Sufficient." So I thought I would share the lyrics with you.  As you read through this passage and these lyrics remember that whatever you face today: health struggles; relationship struggles; grief; another typical Monday at the office; another bill; difficult decisions - whatever it is remember that HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT! 
What are you gonna do
When the doctor comes
Into the waiting room
Puts his hand on you
And says I'm sorry?

What are you gonna say to God
When all you do is pray to God
To take the thorn away?
And all you hear Him say is:

My grace, My grace
My grace is sufficient
My grace is sufficient

What are you gonna do
When your neighbor walks
Into your living room
And you to tell him
Who could deliver them
Like He delivered you?

What are you gonna say to God
When all you do is pray to God
For them to know His name
And all you hear Him say is:

My grace, My grace
My grace is sufficient
My grace is sufficient

It's all you need

What are you gonna say to God
When everything you prayed to God
Came your way but you forgot to thank Him?
And all you hear Him say is
My grace
