In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.
Romans 8:26 (CSB)
Every day, we meet people who, faced with the difficulties they encounter, exclaim that life is wicked. Some even give up on the many opportunities that await them. Certainly, the obstacles and circumstances we encounter sometimes force us to hold back our words or shirk our responsibilities. We no longer know what to say or where to turn. But can we really say that life is wicked?
While those who do not believe in Christ allow themselves to be discouraged by what they encounter in life, those who do, on the other hand, remain hopeful that all is not lost, because they know they have a Savior who takes into account their pain, their obstacles, and comes to their aid. Sometimes, life's difficulties can prevent us from praying because we don't know what to say or how to address our prayers to God. This is where the Holy Spirit takes over.
What most often weakens you spiritually are the problems you encounter, the trials you cannot overcome. Rest assured, you have a Comforter who can intercede on your behalf with God. He can take your sighs, your tears, and your cries of despair and bring them to His ears in the form of prayers expressing your anguish. God has always provided a plan of support for us, for He knows how weak and fearful we sometimes are. Trust in Him.
May God's grace and peace be with you all.
