Romans 8 makes room for groaning, weakness, and suffering before speaking of hope. Paul does not call harm good or ask us to explain it away. He points to God's faithful love in Christ. Bring what hurts to God without forcing a lesson from it today.

God of mercy, You know what hurts. I do not have an explanation for it. Hold me in the love of Christ, and give me companions who can listen. Amen.
