Turning To God

turning to God - What can I do when I feel helpless?

Asa cried out to the LORD his God, “O LORD, no one but you can help the powerless against the mighty! Help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in you alone.”

2 Chronicles 14:11

The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Psalm 28:7

I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth!

Psalm 121:1-2

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.

Philippians 4:6

WHEN WE FEEL LIKE there is nothing we can do, we are in the perfect place to learn that there is only one thing left to do—turn to God and pray. Sometimes we exhaust all our options before we remember to talk to God, but that’s where we should start. Pray that God would help you look at the situation from his perspective. Pray that he would show you how you have blinded yourself to the many ways in which he is already helping you. If you insist on trying to get yourself out of trouble, you will never see what God can do. When you turn to God, trusting him to help you, you open the lifeline to the one who loves doing the impossible!
