And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

(All things GOOD or BAD works together for good to them that love God. I have recently understood this. We need to trust Him and believe in His Word.)

26 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.

(Exasperated? Don't know what to do anymore? The Holy Spirit does. He is able to search our hearts and make intercession for us according to the will of God. Pray in the Spirit and let the Holy Spirit lift our burden)

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

(Who is the best person to turn to? It is God Himself. God the Father has given us the Holy Spirit and His name is called our Comforter. Let Him be the One who comfort us. )

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

(Jesus came to proclaim the year of Jubilee for us, where things will be restored to us and we will be set free from bondage)

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

(God is able to make all things new for us.)

And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

(God is able to bring us back to the place before things happened. He can remove the feelings of hurt from our past. Jesus is timeless.

[John 8:58]
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. )

(verse 1) O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
(verse 2) Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

(God knows everything that we go through. We can turn to Him. He understands more than anyone else can understand)

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

(Inner healing also requires our participation. If we harbour anger or bitterness, we will be tormented by our own unwillingness to release these emotions. Forgiveness is not just for the other person, it is for us: to release us from the bondage of unforgiveness.)
