Colossians 1; Romans 8

Holy Spirit, by God’s gift, you dwell in me, and where you are is glory. In person, you commune with me. You bear witness to my spirit that I belong to God. We are glorified together.

All the suffering of this present time, the wrestling with my flesh and the foolishness of the world, is not worthy to be compared to the glory, and hope that are revealed to me by your words and your person, Holy Spirit.

Father, all your children and all of your creation eagerly wait for the revealing of your sons. I have the first fruits of the spirit, and yet, I still groan, eagerly awaiting adoption and the redemption of my body.

Meanwhile, Holy Spirit, you help me in my weakness. You perfect my prayers by making intercession for me. You search my heart that I can know the truth, and you lead me in the will of God, our father.

You make all things in my life work out, so as to conform me to the image of my Lord Jesus. By your grace, Holy Spirit, I come to understand that I am born from above. I am predestined, called, justified, and glorified by you, Holy Spirit, through faith in Christ Jesus.
