Groaning Toward Glory

Your groan isn’t failure—it’s labor. Paul says present suffering can’t compare with the coming weight of glory (v.18). Creation groans, we groan, and—when words run out—the Spirit helps our weakness and intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (v.26). This message helps real, time-pressed families face pain without pretending, anchor hope in the redemption of our bodies (v.23), and endure with Spirit-given strength. Expect clear steps for Monday: a 60-second “Groan to God” prayer, carrying a Romans 8 promise card, and turning sorrow into service. Come weary, leave steady—heirs with Christ, waiting well, walking by the Spirit, and moving toward glory that will one day swallow every grief.
