Lenten Devotional...March 27

“In the day of my trouble I call on you, for you will answer me.”
(Psalm 86:7)
 
Have you ever picked up the phone, sat at the keyboard, or called out to someone in the next room to let them know you needed help?  Most, if not all of us, have done so, probably many times.  We do this because there is something we cannot do on our own, some challenge or problem that holds us captive and in need of assistance.
 
The Psalmist speaks with clear and certain assurance that the Lord will respond to his cry for help. The day of trouble presents an opportunity of faith…a look beyond self.  I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come?  My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”(Psalm 121:1)
 
If you haven’t done so lately, maybe it’s time to ask for help.
 
Prayer: It’s me again, Lord.  I need your help.  I wait for your voice. Amen.
