Hear my prayer, Lord; let my cry for help come to you. Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. —Psalm 102:1-2
There are many different crises and hard situations we face, sometimes on a daily basis. We experience job losses, relationship problems, health issues, family disagreements and so much more. Although many people feel like asking for help is a sign of weakness, it’s important to remember that we always have people to turn to. The first direction you should always turn when you need help is towards God. He wants nothing more than to build relationships with us and to continue to demonstrate His insurmountable love. As a Christian, you should turn to prayer when you are facing a difficult situation. Do not forget, however, that you should be reaching for God every day, and not just when there is an issue. Closeness helps to build faith and make the toughest circumstances easier to weather. Another way to find the support of our heavenly Father is through reading the Bible. His Word is a living tool that is designed to offer direction and guidance. There are many lessons to be had, and spending time within the pages is a marvelous way to overcome tribulations while also strengthening your faith. Of course, there is a support network of others, too. Friends, family members and brothers and sisters of Christ are resources that should never be downplayed. Sometimes, God will use interaction between His children to help one another and build closer bonds. Today, do not be afraid to ask for help. No one can do it all alone, and our heavenly Father does not expect you to. There is no shame in reaching out to others.
