In the Hall of Fame of prayers we could
list a few.
The Lord’s Prayer has to be at the top.
The Prayer
of St. Francis of Assisi is a great one.
The Serenity Prayer is a cherished one as
well.
How about this one?
“God help
me.”
Ever had to pray that prayer? I have.
And the amazing thing is … this prayer is
heard and responded to by God just as the all-time-hits prayers. Now note this – I am in no way making light
of these great prayers. Sometimes,
however, we can’t form the words and thoughts in the moment and about all we
can get out is “Help.”
God is not offended.
He is not put off.
He doesn’t think you are lazy.
He comes near.
Yeah.
He comes near.
I think God understands our humanness
more than we allow Him to.
And he comes near. He stoops down and
lifts us up. Wow! Can you picture that one? God comes along and lifts us up when we can’t
do that for ourselves. That is amazing
to me.
What a great prayer – “help”!
What a greater God!
