Hebrews 4:14-16 says " Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us hold fast our profession." (15) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (16) " Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in times of need. " Begin to worship your Abba Father during the difficult times and remain prayerful. Is it easy? The answer is no, but it is worth it to put on the garment of praise in your posture of prayer.

For it does not matter how much pain you must bear, nor how severe the storms of life are. There is an assurance of God's word, in the book of Isaiah 26:3 which says " Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. " There will be some days that you may not have enough strength to pray, and you may not even know what to pray for: but the comfort of God's word reminds you of what Romans 8:26-27 says it reads " Likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. " (27) " And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God."
