For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God\u2019s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: \u201cFor Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.\u201d Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.\u201d<br>\u202d\u202dRomans\u202c \u202d8:26-39\u202c \u202d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although things are not perfect<br>Because of trial or pain<br>Continue in thanksgiving<br>Do not begin to blame<br>Even when the times are hard<br>Fierce winds are bound to blow<br>God is forever able<br>Hold on to what you know<br>Imagine life without His love<br>Joy would cease to be<br>Keep thanking Him for all the things<br>Love imparts to thee<br>Move out of &#8220;Camp Complaining&#8221;<br>No weapon that is known<br>On earth can yield the power<br>Praise can do alone<br>Quit looking at the future<br>Redeem the time at hand<br>Start every day with worship<br>To &#8220;thank&#8221; is a command<br>Until we see Him coming<br>Victorious in the sky<br>We&#8217;ll run the race with gratitude<br>Exalting God most high<br>Yes, there&#8217;ll be good times and yes some will be bad,<br>But\u2026<br>Zion waits in glory\u2026where none are ever sad!<br>ABC: Author Unknown<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;A B C&#8217;s of Life&#8221;Devotional Author: Pat AH Aman We sometime spend so much time complaining and searching for faults in others, that we need to stop and look within ourselves.
