Like the apostle Paul, do you have a thorn in your life that just won’t go away—no matter how many times you’ve asked God to remove it? Maybe you’re troubled by an estranged relationship, a chronic illness, a difficult marriage, depression, a struggle with an addiction, a past abuse—or even a combination of some of these.
