Does God always see fit to grant our petitions?

Answer

"For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, My grace is
sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor. 12:8,9.
NOTE - Paul's affliction, it seems, was impaired sight. Acts 9:8,9,18; 22:11-13. The retaining of
this imperfection would be a constant reminder to him of his conversion, and hence a blessing in disguise.
