Trust God for help in Times of Trouble

Read Romans 10:8b-13


Key Verse: Verse 13: “Everyone who calls, “Help. God gives help.”

Trust God for help in Times of Trouble

Our scripture verse tells us that God is ready to help us. We just need to trust in God for help This is hard to do. We want to take control and be in charge and do it ourselves.

Life is difficult. We face many problems today, financial, health, family.

Take a good look at your life today, see where you can live more simply. Look around you and see who needs help. Can you be that person God is sending to help someone. Spend some time these 40 days of Lent reading the scriptures and praying.

God is ready, willing, and able to help you. Ask God today for help.

A beautiful old hymn entitled, “Trust and Obey” comes to my mind. One of the verses says, “Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but our toil he doth richly repay, not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” (p. 467 United Methodist Hymnal words by John Sammis, Music by Daniel Towner)

Try trusting , God is ready to help.

Prayer:  O God, we trust you for help in times of trouble. Be with us as we call on your name.

Thought for the Day:  Trust God for all things.
