I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
The day will come. We can look forward to it. No more pain. No more tears.
When we fast, we know that there will a time when we eat. That makes the discomfort of hunger easier to endure. Similarly, when we suffer physical, emotional, and spiritual pain, we can look forward to that day when we no longer suffer from these troubles. That is good news, indeed!
For those suffering because of Adam's accident, take heart. There is hope. While we wait, the Holy Spirit will be with us — even interceding for us when we don't know what to pray for.
Romans 8: 25-26
25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
After a day of prayer, it is sometimes challenging to know what else to ask of God. We sometimes worry about "annoying Him" with repetitive requests. First, we can refer back to last night's pose (The Honest Cries of Broken Hearts...). Second, we can invite the Holy Spirit to intercede on our behalf.
Prayers to Close the Day
As you let the Holy Spirit lead you in prayer, you may also consider asking that:
• Adam would continue to recover from his most recent surgery.
• Adam' s body would strengthen and be able to fight off infections.
• Adam's vital signs would all be normal.
• Adam would not require any more surgeries (see Amy's post: Long Surgery)
• All glory and honor would be God's as He works a healing in Adam
Good night.
