Praying with Paul: 'The Coming Glory'

Romans 8:15

Dear Father, creator and re-creator of the world,

Whatever I may have to suffer is nothing compared to the glory you will reveal in your people, and therefore in me.

Your creation waits in eager longing for that better day in which we, your children, shall be revealed in glory. Your glory will be shared with us, and ours with it!

Inwardly, Father, I groan while bearing the frustrations of life and the weakness and pains in my body. I long for the time when the adoption process is complete, when my body will be resurrected and redeemed from all this.

This is the hope of my salvation. Thank you, dear Lord, for that hope.

In the name of Jesus and with the support of your Spirit I come to you, anticipating your glory. Amen.
