I
Need Help!
Asking
God to help will always be desirable
when the heart has an understanding
of the grace of God. Christians who are
growing fervently and faithfully in and
by the grace of God are aware of God's
dependability. There is nothing more
obvious about God than His faithfulness.
A Christian will never be an imposition
to God. Yet, many
Believers feel very uncomfortable in
asking Christ for help.
It
is an absolute fact that each of us will
experience the bitter sting of
desperation? Desperation literally means
to: suffer unbearable anxiety and
despair. Although we may not realize it,
moments of desperation reveals what we
truly think about Christ. God wants you
to be comfortable with asking Him for
help (Hebrews
4:16). The longer you wait to ask,
the weightier your burdens will become.
Asking God for help is not impossible.
If you will not ask God for help, you
will find yourself becoming impossible.
Yes, it will likely cost you much to ask
God for help if you don't, it will cost
you the most. Remember...
the day you stop asking God for help is
the day you start asking for trouble.

Last
Week's Devotion...
Pray
Or Stray!
For
many Christians,
prayer
is merely a reaction to conflicting
circumstances. Often we are
plagued with wandering
thoughts that fuels toleration of
complicity with the world. Ultimately,
Christians who learn to pray biblically
are very sure of
God's Will. God's Will is not an
alternative that we consider in a
catalogue of options.
All
true and spiritual prayers are virtues
conceived by the instigating influence
of the indwelling Holy Spirit apart from
which all we can attain to is self-pity.
Don't tolerate wallowing in self-pity.
It is the hall mark of absolute
selfishness of which is the compelling
justification why we will not trust God
with all our heart. The challenge to
pray is both perpetual and very personal
with God. He determines to root us
deeply in His affection for us (1 John
3:1). The closet of prayer is our
fortress for change that breeds a
perception of the grace of God (Hebrews.
4:16). Amen!
