Lord, I Need Your Help

When I woke Monday morning these were my exact words, "Lord, I need your help". Life is a little overwhelming in the Douthit house. We have a tremendous amount of goings on and Monday was the culmination of my fustration with life and instead of just crying, I found myself crying out to God for help.

 Are you at that point of being beyond fustrated? Are there hurts and burdens that have you weighed down? Have you been trying to fix a situation with no real solution? Weary, tired and need some help today? Psalm 18:6 says,  “In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help....” King David was much better at this than I am. He had a habit of crying out to  God for help when he was in distress. Barnes’ Notes on the Bible Commentary  tells us that in Psalm 18:6, “‘In my distress’ refers, most probably,  not to any particular case, but rather indicates, David's, general habit of mind, that when he was in deep distress and danger he had uniformly called upon  the Lord, and had found him ready to help.”

God is real, and when you trust in Him as David did, He promises to be with you and help you. Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help  in trouble.”  Let Him share your burdens and reveal His purpose for you. Turn to Him today. Prayer and praise acknowledges that Jesus Christ is your Lord, Savior and Provider.  Many of us live a life full of prideful self reliance and stubbornness and never receive anything from the Lord.  When you call out  and  come to the Lord Jesus Christ with a need, you are glorifying Him and lifting up  His name to all the earth.  He will pour out His power, peace, love  upon you and  answer your needs! Enter into Intercession to recieve your help.

INTECESSORY PRAYER

Heavenly Father, I ask You to lead me in paths of righteousness for Your Name’s Sake. I Bless You, Praise You, Worship You, and commit all that I am to You, and that Your perfect Will be done through me. I ask that You cause me to enter into Your Rest now, in Jesus’ Name and that I receive rest. I ask You to release my warring and ministering angels to minister and to war on my behalf. I ask you to fill this, Your temple; with Your Holy Spirit. Help me to bear the cross You have prepared for me and help those in my family. I ask that the Holy Spirit speak to my heart through Your Word. I come to You with reverence and worship, and with humility through Your Holy Spirit. I ask that when I read Your Word that it would be engrafted into me and become part of me; spirit, mind, will and emotions. I declare by Your power; You are helping and causing me to be bold, dauntless, fearless, confident, steadfast, faithful, true and loyal for Your Name’s Sake.

I release all things into Your hands and commit myself unto You, trusting You.  Lord forgive me and help me to follow Your direction. I ask You that my mind and thoughts will be clear toward You, and that they will be clear of all emotional clutter. I ask that You cause me to hear You louder and more clearly, and to find rest in You. I ask that Your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, with long-suffering, and self control be developed in my life. I ask You to fashion my heart like Yours, that Your fruit will abound in and through me to others. I ask You Lord for a healthy mind and body in You. I ask that Your perfect Will may be worked out in my life and the lives of those that my life touches, as You direct me. I ask You for eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to  comprehend and receive what the Holy Spirit has to say.  I ask to speak and to do Your perfect Will in this life; for You, for me, and for my family.

I ask You to guard me and my family with many angels and that they manifest as needed. I ask You to make me alert, sharp and attentive to Your thoughts and ways.  I ask that I may prosper in what I put my hands to do for You. I ask You to renew my youth like the eagles.  I ask for a heart like Yours and that I may grow and mature that I may walk in Your ways. Heavenly Father, I declare Your faithfulness to the heavens and Your loving kindness and tender mercies anew every morning. In Jesus Name I Pray. Amen
