1. Always ask God for help (prayer)Judges 6:6
Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the Lord for help.
Psalm 18:6In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple He heard my voice; my cry came before Him, into His ears
Psalm 33:20
We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
Psalm 109:21
But you, Sovereign Lord, help me for Your name’s sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
Psalm 121:2
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Matthew 15:25
The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said
What stops us asking people for help?
• Pride or fear
• Lack of friendships
• No confidence
• Not want to put others out
• You think about how you may feel when others ask you for help.
Galatians 6:2,5
2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.…
5 for each one should carry their own load.
1 Peter 5
“God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble.”
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
