"If I wanted to boast, I would be no fool in doing so, because I would be telling the truth. But I won't do it, because I don't want anyone to give me credit beyond what they can see in my life or hear in my message, even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So, to keep me from being proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud." 2 Corinthians 6-12
The Apostle Paul knew all about issues and problems; yet, God trusted and empowered him to write a great portion of the New Testament. Many Christians feel if they face intense problems, it is because God is displeased with them. Punishment must be the reason; that's a human perspective.
