Romans 8:25

A Two-Stage Healing

²⁴ We are saved by this hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For does a man hope for what he sees? ²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. ²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses. We do not know what we should pray for, as we should. The Spirit [of God] makes intercession with groaning that cannot be spoken.
