40 Days of Hope - Day 4

“For we know the the whole creation has been groaning together in pains of childbirth.” Romans 8.22

Stuff is messed up in this world. It is apparent in every sphere. Sin devastates us all and that includes the world itself. The Bible teaches that the creation (the world and everything in it) itself is groaning for the day it is redeemed in the return of Jesus. We are part of that creation that groans under the weight of sin in this world. We see it and we feel it.

Remember: we live in a world that is groaning, waiting to be redeemed but that the cross guarantees that the groaning will end some day.

Prayer Focus:

ADORE God for his creation
CONFESS the sin present in your heart and life
THANK God for making a way for the coming redemption of all things
SUPPLICATE (beg) God for those things that are heavy on your heart
SILENTLY reflect on Psalm 74
