## Resource

Cat81 Radio Show NotesDealing with a Thorn in Your Side Inspired by David Jeremiah Key Scripture: "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Everyone experiences a "thorn"—a trial, weakness, loss, or ongoing struggle. God doesn't always remove our thorns, but He always supplies His grace. Our greatest weaknesses can become God's greatest opportunities to display His strength. Trials deepen our dependence on Christ and strengthen our faith. God's purpose is not simply our comfort but our spiritual growth and Christlike character. 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 Romans 8:28 James 1:2–4 Isaiah 41:10 Philippians 4:13 At Cat81 Radio, Jaggy and Tedi remind me that every day is a gift from God. Caring for aging or sick animals has taught me that faith isn't about having an easy path—it's about trusting the Lord through every challenge. Even when our thorn remains, God's grace is enough, and His presence never leaves us. Closing Thought: Your thorn may not disappear today, but God's grace is already there. Lean into Him, and you'll discover that His strength shines brightest where yours comes to an end. Main PointsSupporting ScripturesCat81 Reflection
