Life gets hard for many reasons, and sometimes it is too much. Yet God helps us, because He loves in the believer by the Holy Spirit, so we can trust that God knows our needs and helps us pray even when we feel like we can’t.
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
Isaiah 41:13, ESV

Romans 5:3-5, ESV

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
