Ask for Help

Why is asking for help one of the hardest things to do?

Some people believe that asking for help is a sign of weakness. Others may have experienced loss of trust in people they've placed their hope in. Some believe that, "I can do it on my own". Or even shame, guilt and pride comes in when the thought or idea of asking for help creeps in.

Whatever may come up, asking for help can be a doozy of a chore. But you know what? We all need help at some point or another. We all need someone to help us through. It's about finding that right person who is going to lead us in the right direction.

After lots of experiences of feeling weak, disappointed in others for breaking my trust, feelings of "I can do it on my own," or even shame, guilt, and pride, I know that there is only one person I can completely trust -- Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.

I used to believe that I needed someone who I can physically see and touch to help me, but through my experiences I know those are the people who can hurt me the most.

When I started seeking Him for help, my relationship with Him really started to strengthen. I have no trust issues with Him, I know He will always lead me on a good path, and I know that no matter what life looks like, He always has my back. I truly believe with all my heart, soul, and Spirit that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I encourage you, if you're struggling or being challenged, to give Him a try. He's always listening and willing to lend a hand...and His love for you is greater than you can ever imagine!
