Need a little help?

Does it ever feel like you are alone in the world? Forever waiting, wanting or sad? Some days it feels like that. Sometimes it feels as if I’ll never make it. So what do you do when you want to set the world on fire or lay in the flames yourself?

It’s important to have people you can talk to in these situations, like a spouse, partner, sibling, parent, doctor, pastor or friend. Sometimes when we’re in a deep rut we just need a hand to help lift us up.
There can’t always be a person there to help us. In those times and all the time we must rely on God. He is our number one. He comes when we call and he is there to give us the strength we need.

God also gives us resources. That includes but is not limited to, the Bible, friends, leaders, books, doctors, medicine and much more. Reading self help books to help us get out of a depressive episode can help. Sometimes you just need help. Sometimes you just need quiet time or a day off.

God has given us brains and instincts to help us through the tough times. Sometimes what you have to do is ask and listen. God always takes care of his loved ones.

“Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?” Matthew 6:26.

What in your life do you need help with? Who can you ask to help you? God, a friend, yourself?
