Romans 8:26-30

Romans 8:26-30 
English Standard Version (ESV)


  We forget that God is for us.  When we can't figure out how to pray or what to say, God helps us.  God is a gentle, caring parent, encouraging God's children and wanting them to succeed.  God isn't waiting for us to make a mistake so we can be punished -- God is cheering for us, encouraging us, longing to see us succeed in faithfulness so our lives can be enriched by grace and mercy and we can step into the abundance that awaits us.
  This is our future, our destiny for those who believe -- when we can't pray, when we can't figure out why things are happening the way they are, remember that God helps you pray, and that things eventually work together for good.  All things -- it's hard to remember this, and we need people to remind us of the hope we have in Christ, so that we can endure through the long nights and look forward to the dawning of the new creation that exists in and through Christ Jesus our Lord!
