Sometimes We Simply Need to Ask for Help

Matthew 7: 7-12 MSG

 

Sometimes we feel confused

 

We do not know what to do

 

How should we act

What should we say

How do we decide

 

We feel alone

 

We are at a loss for words

At a loss for what to think

At a loss for how to decide

 

We just don’t know

 

Who is there to help us

 

Why don’t the adults know that we need help

And just come and help?!

 

Sometimes we don’t even know what we need help with

 

We just need some sort of help!

 

HELP!

 

SOMEBODY!

 

ANYBODY?!

 

 

Wait a minute!

 

 

The Bible says:

Ask and it will be given to you

Seek and you will find

Knock and the door will be opened to you

 

ASK

 

Just ASK??!!

 

Yea?!

 

Ask

 

Hmm…

 

Even when I don’t know WHAT to ask for

 

Jesus knows what I mean

He knows what I need

Even before I know what I need

 

WOW!

 

“You know everything I am going to say

before I start the first sentence”

(Psalm 139:4)

 

REALLY?!

 

“We do not know what we ought to pray for

But the Spirit Himself

Intercedes for us

Through wordless groans”

(Romans 8:26b)

 

YAY!

 

Jesus!

Help me!

You know what I need help with

 

I am crying out:

 

“HELP!”

 

I am directing my cry

To YOU!

 

Knowing that You know

What I mean

What I need

 

Even when I don’t

 

Thank You that I know You are true to Your word

 

I will ASK

 

BOLDLY

 

WITH FAITH

 

WITH FULL EXPECTATION

 

That You

 

At just the right time

 

Will

 

Answer me

 

Because You will

Ask for me

 

You Will

Petition for me

 

So

 

I ask

 

And

 

I Wait…
