Romans 8:22-30 New King James Version

22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
     Jesus, we long for the fulfillment of your work in our lives.

24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
     Jesus, I live in the hope of the resurrection.

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
     Holy Spirit, please help me in my weakness.

27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
     Holy Spirit, search my heart and cleanse it. Help me pray according to your mind.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
     Father, I trust that these present trials will work for our good.

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
     Father, conform me to the image of Jesus (I'm not there yet).

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
     Father, you have predestined me, called me, justified me and given me the hope of glory. Thank you.

A word Received: Submit your desires to my will so that you may become mature and complete.
