From the first page that popped up when I googled it:

(I think some valid points if you read the whole thing)

Some excerpts:

And because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me – to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I entreated the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.” (2 Cor 12:7-9: 7)

 

Paul entreated the LORD 3x Although Lord could refer to the Father, we notice that God is the normal term to refer to the Father and Lord is the normal term that refers to Christ. (See Eph 4:4-6). This Lord whom Paul prayed to three times replied: “My (the Lord’s) power is perfected in weakness” (Lord is still either Father or son.) The irrefutable proof is the contrast of Paul’s weakness with the “Power of Christ” (which refers back to Lord, to whom Paul was praying.) Power of Christ is a direct reference back to the statement, “MY POWER is perfected in weakness. After Paul prayed to the LORD, this same LORD said, “MY POWER (Christ’s power) is perfected in your weakness.
