     | 11,294 views

    In Romans 8:18-30, Paul helps us to understand how the groaning of our suffering can lead to glory, because the Holy Spirit helps us when we don't know what to pray, and God is working good through all things to conform us to the image of His Son.

    Job faced struggles and pain in life that most will never encounter, at least in that magnitude. No doubt, he had more questions than answers. However, in the midst of his uncertainty, there were e few things of significance that Job knew without doubt.
