Lord, Help me!

Matthew 15:25 (AMP)"But she came and, kneeling, worshiped Him and kept praying, Lord, help me!"

Lord, help me!  Lord!  Lord!  Who is Lord, but you oh my God, my Saviour, my Jesus the Only Help.  Lord, help me!  Sometimes, I just want to let it all out, but I don't even know what I'm letting out.  Such love, such thanksgiving, such hope, such peace, such joy, and yet, yet I NEED YOUR HELP, ALWAYS!  Lord, help me!  My life can be summed up by one help from you after another -  a series of helps from my King, my Brother and in this, in this I find such comfort that you came to give us help.  Lord, help me!  Help me when I wake-up tomorrow to acknowledge you first.  Help me be the support and love of my wife.  Help me at work to work hard for my employer and not complain.  Help me to stand for righteousness and walk away from gossip and strife.  Help me to be a light and hope to those around me.  Help me to do the right thing even when its not easy.  Help me to pray with those around me who need a touch from you.  Help me to be generous with your Love.  Lord, help me!  Oh, how I need your help more and more every day.  Oh, Lord, help me to walk in your light and to walk close to your heart; help me never to become dull to your voice or weak in my voice for you.  Lord, help me!  I want my life to be an experience for you of worship that touches the most inner-parts of your heart - I want to take your breath away...like you've taken mine, my God - my Jesus.  Lord, sometimes I feel weak in my walk with you because of all the help I need, I look at those around me in the faith, and I say how I wish I had it together like them.  But, then, in your great Grace you remind me with your Scripture that you're not looking for people who have it all together, instead, you're looking for people who know how much they need your help.  Lord, help me to ALWAYS ask for your help.   In everything from breathing, to eating, to sleeping, to praying, to witnessing, to loving, to serving, to being served, to giving, to receiving - LORD, HELP ME, HELP ME!

Matthew 5:3-5, 8 (NLT):  "God blesses those who are poor in spirit and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.  God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.  God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth....God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God."

Psalm 51:16-17 (NIV):  "You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.  My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise." 

Psalm 91:14-16 (AMP):  "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].  He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.  With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation."

Matthew 11:25-26, 28-30 (NLT):  "At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: 'O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.  Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!'  Then Jesus said, 'Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you.  Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.'"

John 8:28 (NLT):  "So Jesus said, 'When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will understand that I AM he.  I DO NOTHING on my own but say only what the Father taught me.'"

Son, every step I took I took with the help of my Father.  It was by His anointing and His anointing alone that I did anything according to His plan.  The more you know how much you need my help the more you look like me in this life. 

Hebrews 13:5-6 (NLT):  "For God has said, 'I will never fail you.  I will never abandon you.'  So we can say with confidence, 'The LORD is my helper, so I will have no fear.'"

PRAISE GOD!
