Romans 8

Father, you have taught me to understand that the sufferings of this present age are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed. All creation eagerly waits for the revealing of your sons, Father.

Now through Christ, we see the first fruits of your Holy Spirit poured out on mankind. Many people now know you and live in the sure hope of divine, eternal adoption and the redemption of the body.

I hope for what I do not see, but I eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Your Holy Spirit helps me in my faith. Even when I do not know what I should pray, you, Holy Spirit, make intercession for me with groanings which cannot be uttered.

You, Holy Spirit, search my heart. You know the heart of God, and you bring me into the good, pleasing, and perfect will of the Father. You intercede perfectly for me according to God’s desire and plan for me.
