What does the Bible say about suffering and weakness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness, as seen in 2 Corinthians 12:10.

According to 2 Corinthians 12:10, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that he finds pleasure in his weaknesses because it is through these struggles that Christ's power is manifested. Paul illustrates that the thorn in his flesh, which he refers to as a 'messenger of Satan,' serves a divine purpose of preventing pride and ensuring his reliance on God's grace. This captures the essence of how suffering in the believer's life can lead to a deeper appreciation of God's grace and strength, as His assistance becomes clearer when we acknowledge our limitations.
