John 14:15-16

If you (really) love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor-Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever. 

When we love Jesus and keep His commandments the Holy Spirit can work in our lives. The Holy Spirit guides us around a multitude of traps and wrong turns. We cannot see all that the Holy Spirit sees happening in and around our lives. We are in the perfect hands of God with the Helper when we obey the commandments.
