Summary
God's grace is sufficient for every circumstance and trial we face, but His power is perfected in our weakness rather than our strength. When we become weak and stop relying on ourselves, we experience God's grace most fully and can live victoriously and peacefully, as demonstrated by the Apostle Paul who accepted his physical thorn as a means for God's grace to work through him.

The promise of sufficient graceGod promises that His grace is enough to sustain us through every possible situation and trial.2 Corinthians 12:9
The connection between anxiety and a lack of faith in graceLiving with fear and anxiety suggests we either doubt God's care as our Father or believe His grace is insufficient for our current struggle.
Why God allows circumstances to break usGod uses difficulties to strip away our self-confidence so that His power can be manifested through our weakness.
Using sin and struggle as indicators of missing graceThe speaker suggests that when we fail or struggle to cope, it is often because we are relying on our own strength rather than receiving God's grace.
The thorn in the flesh and the pattern of weaknessJust as God gave Paul a thorn to prevent spiritual pride, He uses weakness to ensure His power is displayed, even through the ultimate weakness of the crucifixion.
