Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. I think this is what Paul was getting at when he said:įor we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. When God comes through in big, awesome ways, he gets all the glory and praise. We’re weak and weary and calling out for God’s help.

When God alone is the one who can deliver us it means God alone gets all the glory when the deliverance comes. One of the reasons God loves to answer the prayer, “God help me,” is that it gives all the glory to him. I am in Christ, and because I am in Him I believe that you will bless me. I pray that you would meet my every need and have faith that you will. I trust you to help me in my weakness and to respond to my prayers for help. Because you love me, I believe that you will give me the strength I need. Prayer For Time Of Needįather, I put my faith in you in this time of need. When we’re struggling, when we’re weary, when we’re stumbling, we can know that he is with us every single step of the way. No, he’s right there with us, and he won’t leave us or forsake us in the midst of our trouble. I love how it says that is a very present help in trouble.

Psalm 46:1 puts it this way, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” We rely upon our resourcefulness.īut when we pray, “God help me,” we’re saying, “I reject any hope other than God. Often times we’re tempted to look to other sources for security and rescue. We look to God and ONLY God to rescue us in our time of need. Our help comes from one source and only one source: the living God who created the heavens and the earth. When we say, “God help me,” we are agreeing with what the Psalmist said in Psalm 121:1-2: My God is strong enough to sustain me, even though it may seem like everything is going to pieces.” We are saying, “ I don’t have the strength in and of myself to make it through these circumstances… but God does. When we say, “God help me,” we are acknowledging that, above all else, we are dependent upon God. Fill my life with your power.įather, I put my faith in you, knowing that you hear my prayers and love to respond when I pray. Lord, I ask that you would please strengthen me.

I am asking for you to meet me in this time of need. God, please help me during this hard time.

Three simple, yet utterly profound words: God help me.
