Today's sermon explores the challenging concept of God saying "no" to our prayers, focusing on the apostle Paul's experience with his "thorn in the flesh." The passage emphasizes that God's refusal can lead to spiritual growth, deeper dependence on His grace, and a demonstration of His power through our weaknesses. The sermon encourages believers to trust God's wisdom even when His answers don't align with our desires, highlighting that God's "no" often paves the way for a different, more beneficial "yes" in our spiritual journey.Acts 12:1-10
