Romans 8:25

A Two-Stage Healing

²⁴ For we were saved to hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what is seen, why also hope for that? ²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait through patience. ²⁶ And likewise also the Spirit helps our weaknesses, for we know not what we would pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.
