"Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray." -Psalms 5:1-2 (NIV)
Watching my daughter grow and explore the world around her, I have realized many dangers and troubles that are all around. She doesn't always realize the danger or trouble she's headed toward and often times she doesn't realize she needs help until she reaches the point of crying and frustration. As children of God, we often act the same way!
There is trouble all around. Just like my daughter, we don't always realize the trouble that is around us. The devil is looking to trip each of us and cause us to stumble toward him. He manages to sneak in trouble in often subtle and inconspicuous ways. Sometimes it seems that we accidentally step into trouble and sometimes we create it through the choices we make. No matter the trouble, big or small, God is there to help us through whatever we encounter.
Asking for help can be difficult. Like a child, we may try to do things on our own. We don't want help until we reach the point of frustration and even tears. Maybe we don't know how to ask for help. Maybe we're not sure of what kind of help we need. Maybe we're not sure we want or need help. Whatever the circumstance, if you are unsure of where to go or what to do next, God will help.
If you are faced with a situation that causes you to break down and cry in despair, just call on God and He will help. God knows what kind of help you need, even if you don't have a clue! Anytime, anywhere, God will listen to you and He will help you. You only need to ask Him for help!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for caring for me and being willing to help me anytime and anywhere. Please grant me the wisdom to know how to handle each situation that I encounter. Please guide me according to Your will. In Jesus' name, Amen.
