Two Minutes In The Bible With JesusExemplo

Lord, Help Me
 

A life lived well requires help from the Lord. Life is like a ship on open seas: we navigate through calm waters, rough waters, uncertain waters, and beautiful waters—but all the time trusting its Creator. The source of our strength must be Christ, or we are chronically tired. Faith in the Lord triumphs over fear and frustration. 

This is especially true when someone we love suffers severely and all we can do is lift them up to Jesus. Indeed, His help happens to those who kneel in humble dependency and cry out to Jesus, “Lord, help me!” When the body writhes in pain, we cry for help. When a critical word crushes our spirit, we cry for help. When unanswered questions stalk our mind, we cry for help. When relational conflict emaciates our emotions, we cry for help. Help from heaven gives hope, healing, and the energy to push through tough times and trust Him.

His help gives joy where laughter has left. His help gives confidence in the middle of crisis. His help offers forgiveness when hurt has severed another’s trust. His help harnesses grace and bridles a toxic tongue. His help reaches to the poorest of the poor, the richest of the rich, and everyone in between—with His saving grace in Jesus Christ. How can Jesus help you? Do you need wisdom? Ask Him with a humble heart, and He will hear and answer your request. His response may come in the form of godly friends who give you wise advice—so look around and listen intently—for the Lord speaks through those who truly love you. Jesus helps those who humbly seek out and trust wise counsel.

Who do you know that needs the Lord’s help? Have you, on bended knee, petitioned Jesus on their behalf? Be bold for their sake and for the glory of God. Go to Jesus so someone can find Jesus’s healing and forgiveness. Be an advocate for others.

What help do I need from the Lord? On whose behalf can I seek help from the Lord?
