Feeling frustrated?

"Therefore,

that I might not become too elated,
a thorn in the flesh was given to me,

an angel of Satan,
to beat me,

to keep me from being too elated.

"Three times I begged the Lord about this,

that it might leave me,
but he said to me,

'My grace is sufficient for you,
for power is made perfect in weakness.'

"I will rather boast most gladly

of my weaknesses,
in order that the power of Christ

may dwell with me.

"Therefore, I am content

with weaknesses, insults,
hardships, persecutions,

and constraints,
for the sake of Christ;
for when I am weak,

then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:7b-10 (from today's first reading)
