The Spirit Helps You Pray
The Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.—Romans 8:26 (NIV)
But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.—Matthew 26:70 (NIV)
As Jesus predicted, Peter denied knowing Him three times. Later, after Jesus’ resurrection, He asked Peter three times, “Do you love Me?”—giving Peter multiple chances to correct his wrongdoing and respond with love. Like He did for Peter, Jesus offers us His grace and forgiveness, every time we doubt or turn away from Him.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your endless grace and forgiveness that helps me to grow closer to You in faith.

The Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.—Romans 8:26 (NIV)

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