Christian, don't look to your behaviour, your feelings or your faithfulness. Jesus Christ is your righteousness. He is your status and your standing before God. Always there, always reliable, always the same.

I do not stand on my own before God. I stand in Christ. I have a high priest who has atoned for me, and who on that basis now prays for me with total assurance.
