Conclusion
Eternal God, as all creation groans, I wait with longing for suffering
to cease and full redemption to come for all that you made. I place my
hope in your promise until your glory is revealed. Hold my life, even
through pain, until that glorious day; through Jesus Christ, in whom
all things will be made new. Amen.
