In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words. And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of God’s people in accordance with God’s will. [Ps 139:1, 2] And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son [and ultimately share in His complete sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers. And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity]. What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? [Ps 118:6] He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen ones)? It is God who justifies us [declaring us blameless and putting us in a right relationship with Himself]. Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us. Who shall ever separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? Just as it is written and forever remains written, “FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE ARE REGARDED AS SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.” [Ps 44:22]

As God unfolds the possibilities and opportunities sitting at our fingertips, may we not just lead now, but lead well. In this 3-day reading plan, Brad Lomenick offers key essentials by which you can identify your God-given purpose and act on it with authenticity and courage.
Life.Church Worship began writing their newest single with an email from Amy Groeschel, Pastor Craig Groeschel’s wife and co-founding pastor of Life.Church. She sent three Scriptures and some personal worship. The resulting song is a from-the-depths declaration of dependence on a God who breaks through like the bright hope of morning sun. This three-day Bible Plan will connect you to the real hope God offers, even now.
Do you ever feel dry, empty, and parched as though you have nothing left to give? The theme of these guided audio meditations is about being filled and quenched by God. Day 1 is about having a heart filled with the hope of God. Day 2 will help you learn to be filled with what is real. And Day 3 is about being filled with the love of God.
The theme for these guided audio meditations is faith. Having enough faith to have hope. Faith and hope. One following the other. The first meditation will help you rediscover trust in God’s process of faith and hope. The second meditation is about restoring faith and hope in other people. And finally, a reflection on walking. The faith to walk well again after falling.
