B. The Holy Spirit is a guide.
John 16:13
"When the Spirit of Truth comes He will guide you into all truth."

C. The Holy Spirit is a helper.
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you."
D. The Holy Spirit supports us.
Romans 8:26
"And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness."
E. The Holy Spirit is a comforter.
John 14:16
"I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another comforter, that He may abide with you forever."
