The Spirit Helps You Pray
The Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.—Romans 8:26 (NIV)
God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.—2 Samuel 22:33 (KJV)
It’s easy to fall into the illusion of believing that you can control everything. But the fact is that circumstances arise that are completely beyond your power. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and defeated, trust the greatest power in the world. Give the situation and the outcome to God.
Heavenly Father, I surrender my desire to control what is outside of my grasp. Guide me to concentrate on what I can control: my thoughts, my actions and growing my faith to trust You.

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)
