Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

📖 Psalm 34:18 – "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

📖 Romans 8:26-27 – "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
