Help Me
As you read through
the Psalms you will see the repeated, simple and effective prayer of a
righteous man. It is a prayer I hope you pray regularly. It is a prayer that
reveals your heart of dependence on God for your life, your protection and your
future. I mentioned that this prayer is simple. Actually it is extremely simple
– two words in our English Bibles. The prayer: “Help me!” (Ps.38:22;
40:13; 59:4; 109:26; et al.) The inspired Psalms led God’s people to pray this
simple prayer regularly in their songs of worship. It should be our song hour
by hour. Few things are more worshipful than declaring our continual dependence
on God as our Sustainer, Protector and Guide. To be consciously reliant on our
Creator for all things is simply a truthful awareness of reality. Scripture
repeatedly reminds us that we are finite, dependent and needy. For in reality,
God “gives all men life and breath and everything else” (Ac.17:25). May God
help us to always be mindful of this, calling frequently on God to grant us his
wisdom and help.
