 It could also be a spiritual thing, a spiritual struggle that he had, a spiritual temptation that he struggled with, a thorn that he had that was constantly harassing him, constantly leading him to try to fall away from the Lord. You know, that's what the thorn in the flesh is. But Paul's idea with that thorn in the flesh is not so much that the thorn in the flesh was a terrible thing, but he saw it as a way of keeping him focused. He did plead with God, take it away. Take this thorn in the flesh away from me.
