Have you ever been in times where you needed help, you were desperate and didn't know how to ask for help. did you know that Matthew 7: 7-8 says Ask and it will be given to you Seek and you shall find Knock and the doors shall be open to you. verse 8 goes on to say Ask and Keep on Asking, Seek and Keep on Seeking, Knock and Keep on Knocking.
Let's get real for a moment shall we!!!! how many times do you think about asking for help when you are going through tough times. I know I will be the first to admit that I often think that I can do it all by myself I like to think that i have it all together. Yeah Right! to tell you the truth i actually i kind of have a little moment of panic come over me like oh no what will happen in this situation!!
Rachel my sister has a car and the gas tank doesn't work so you never know how much gas is actually in her car. i think she's run out of gas like 4 times now and each time the story is different, in the winter we got to an arena in Drayton and had to push it down a steep hill into the feed mill gas station. last week it was like midnight so you couldn't just push cause it wasn't safe so we had to wait for help.
so when you are in need what do you do? do you have a plan or do you just wing it and get frustrated all the while trying to act all cool about the circumstances?
Most people are to afraid to ask for help in times of crisis! how often do we leave God on the back burner? we are humans and think we have it all together. we have a mindset that we don't need help. but we do. sometimes you have to lose all to see that you need help.
Believe it or not when you ask for help you are acknowledging that you are weak but in our greatest moment of weakness that's when God gives us strength. We allow God to be God. We often blame God for everything that goes wrong with us. but here's the thing when do we stop to ask God for directions in our life? why do we leave God in the background? I am guilty as much as anyone. it comes down to a little thing called trust......
Trust you may ask what does this have to do with anything what does this have to do with desperate times...
It has everything to do with desperate times. you see we TRUST that someone will come to our aide when we are stuck. here's the thing with trust. Alot of people struggle to ask for help. we think that we have things under control. here's the thing people will help you if you ask!
