In his Letter to the Romans, Paul writes of weakness. We live in a world of cosmic sin. Paul sees that weakness in humanity and in himself.

Yet, God gives us in Christ a grace that cannot be measured:

 “ We have received a spirit of adoption through which we cry, ‘Abba, Father!’
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs,
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him” (Romans 8:15-17)

As God’s children we have the gift to speak to our Father in prayer, even in our weakness: 

“The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness;
for we do not know how to pray as we ought,
but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts
knows what is the intention of the Spirit,
because he intercedes for the holy ones 
according to God’s will.” (Romans 8:26-27)

God’s gift is never withdrawn, and so we often end our prayers:

 “Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”
