So, this passage was one of the readings this past Sunday. I first read this passage when a friend of mine at Purdue sent it to me when i was going through a difficult time with my family and school. This passage is both incredibly simple and very deep at the same time.
Sometimes I get too caught up in all the things going on in my life and sometimes it seems that everything going against me is insurmountable. But, just remembering this simple fact: "...that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." helps reset my thinking and puts thing in perspective. This passage is always something that i go back to when I am feeling stressed or worn out.
And as it goes on to say, "...We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God."
This is a comforting fact, even if we don't know what to pray for, God knows what we need from the depths of our hearts.
- Luke
