Unending trouble or issue that mutts and obstructs one. Apostle Paul had an amazingly excruciating physical condition which kept him unassuming and dependent on God. He alluded to this as his thorn in the flesh. “And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.” 2 Corinthians 12:7 KJV
