Romans 8:23

Romans 8:23

And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.


Oh LORD I desperately wait!

My body aches.

I hate this daily pain,

This struggle, the strife.

Inwardly I groan with the desire for peace.

Redeem me,

Your Son my salvation.

Your Spirit is my strength,

But if I hope for what I do not see, I wait for it with patience,

Knowing what is to come, the salvation of my soul.
