LORD, PLEAS E HEL P M E T O CHANG EE3PERSONAL CHECKPOIN T1. Coul d yo u b e trying <strong>to</strong> <strong>change</strong> what can't b e <strong>change</strong>d ?2. Ho w do you fee l about thi s as a possibility ?Help for when w e don't kno w what t o do:The Spirit <strong>help</strong>s us with our weakness. We do not know how <strong>to</strong> pray as weshould. But the Spirit himself speaks <strong>to</strong> God for us, even begs God for us•with deep feelings that words can not explain. God can see what is in people'shearts. And he knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, because theSpirit speaks <strong>to</strong> God for his people in the way God wants.We know that in everything God luorks for the good of those wholove him. They are the people he called, because that was his plan.So what should we say about this? If God is with us, no one candefeat us. He did not spare his own Son but gave him for us all. So withJesus, God will surely give us all things. Can anything separate us fromthe love Christ has for us? Can troubles or problems or sufferings orhunger or nakedness or danger or violent death ?But in all these things we have full vic<strong>to</strong>ry through God whoshowed his love for us. Yes, I am sure that neither death, nor life, norangels, nor ruling spirits, nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers,nothing above us, nothing below us, nor anything else in the whole worldwill ever be able <strong>to</strong> separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesusour <strong>Lord</strong>.—Romans 8:26-28, 31-32, 35, 37-39YOUR RESPONS E1.
