In 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, Paul teaches us that God allows 'thorns' in our lives for divine purposes: to keep us humble, dependent on Him, and to refine our character. Rather than resenting our struggles, we can recognize that God's grace is sufficient, find strength in weakness, and even take pleasure in difficulties knowing they serve a greater purpose. Our pain is necessary for growth, and what was meant to hurt us often helps us become better. By changing our perspective on struggles, we can see how God uses them to develop our character and prepare us for our destiny.
