There is no harm in that. We may pray for anything, not wrong in itself, with perfect freedom, if we do not pray selfishly....But the answer to the prayer may be, as it was to Paul, not the removal of the thorn, but, instead, a growing insight into its meaning and value. The voice of God in our soul may show us, as we look up to Him, that His strength is enough to enable us to bear it.J. F. CLARKE.
