“The Lord is my helper. ” Hebrews 13:6. He can do what we can’t. Do you have problems in your personal life? The Lord is your helper. Problems with drugs or with strong drink? The Lord is your helper. Family problems? Son or daughter on a path of destruction? Problem with your husband or wife? The Lord is your helper. Problem with your parents or church? The Lord is your helper! Do you have physical problems, sickness, disease, pain? The Lord is not only your helper, He is also your healer!
It is true that the Lord knows all about us. So why does He not then just fix everything automatically, especially if He loves me? We find part of this answer in Matthew 7:7-11, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give good things to them that ask him?”
Why is it so hard for us to ask? Our human nature doesn’t like to be dependent. We’re often too proud and self sufficient, but if we humble ourselves and ask, we will receive.
