Morning Prayer 

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Inspiration 

Creation is not the only one groaning for the return of Jesus Christ. The children of God are groaning too, in eager expectation of what is to come. The Holy Spirit helps us remain patient and at rest as we contend with the things of this world. When that day comes, all of God's children will celebrate, as the promise of what is to come will be fulfilled.

Prayer 

Dear God, I rejoice when I think of what is to come. I do not fear the return of your son, Jesus Christ, but I eagerly look forward to the day because I know of what a glorious time this will be. All that we have faced on this earth will come to an end and we will all be one, in eternity. While we wait, thank you Father for giving us the Holy Spirit who helps us in our impatience. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
