The Spirit Helps You Pray
The Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.—Romans 8:26 (NIV)
He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.—Isaiah 53:3 (NLT)
Jesus is “acquainted with grief.” He understands your sorrows. When you are grieving, turn to your Heavenly Father. He knows you fully and completely. He is aware of your pain. He is with you.
Dear Jesus, You know my pain. Wrap Your arms around me and shower me with Your comfort.

The Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.—Romans 8:26 (NIV)
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:2 (NIV)

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.—Matthew 5:44 (NIV)
