2 Corinthians 12:7-10
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh,
a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

The grace of the Lord is sufficient for me. The woman with the issue of blood--did she have to touch the Lord's sleeves and neckline and waistline to receive power and healing from God? No--the hem of His garment was enough.
When you have nothing else to rely on in this world but God's grace, then you truly understand that His grace is enough. His grace is sufficient. All the other things the world longs for and reveres are all inconsequential.
