HELP ME!

Who Doesn’t Need Help? God said, "It is not good that man should be alone…” God wants to “put you together” but the enemy wants you all alone. It takes more strength to be together than it does to be apart. When you’re by yourself you can rationalize your obsessions and justify your oppression. But when you’re with the God of Truth He will expose the insanity and won’t allow you to live a lie. That’s why people isolate themselves, because when they’re alone there’s no accountability. It takes courage to stand up and overcome, but the deceived are led to believe that it’s easier to abide in their afflictions. It’s hard to ask for help and the weaker you become the less likely you are to ask. When you think you are strong enough to do it “by yourself” you are at your worst and the weakest. Pride promises to take you high and then leads you astray so the enemy can eat you while you’re alone. The spirit of fear draws near and magnifies trepidation in isolation, leaving you terrified and almost unable to ask for aid. But in God you must take courage and trust, and ask for help, ask you must. If you don’t you may well die inside, be devoured or drown in your own distress. There is only One who may be able to abide alone, the Almighty, but the One alone who may abide alone chooses not to be alone. And the Almighty says that it is not good to be alone.

So here’s what to do. Know that I’m here praying for you and available to help. And even more that God Almighty is your “ever present help in trouble.” He said, “Don't panic. I'm with you.” And “do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.” “For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you!” SO DO NOT BE AFRIAD TO ASK FOR HELP! Start by asking God to help you to have the courage to ask for help.

In God take courage and trust, and ask for help, ask you must.
For only when you’re open to ask, can others truly be there for you.
And it’s the strength in numbers that will get you through.
So ask for help, ASK, is what you must do!

Gen 2:18
18 And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him."
NKJV

“A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire;
He rages against all wise judgment.”
Prov 18:1NKJV

Prov 18:1

Eccl 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;
But how can one be warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
NKJV

2 Chron 14:11
11 And Asa cried out to the Lord his God, and said, "Lord, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!"
NKJV

2 Chron 32:7-8
7 "Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him. 8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles." And the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
NKJV

Ps 22:19-21
19 But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me;
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!

21 Save Me from the lion's mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen!

You have answered Me.
NKJV

Ps 33:20-22
20 Our soul waits for the Lord;

Just as we hope in You.

Ps 37:39-40
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;

And save them,
Because they trust in Him.
NKJV

Ps 40:11-17
11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;
Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
Therefore my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
O Lord, make haste to help me!
14 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
Who seek to destroy my life;
Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor
Who wish me evil.
15 Let them be confounded because of their shame,
Who say to me, "Aha, aha!"

16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
"The Lord be magnified!"
17 But I am poor and needy;
Yet the Lord thinks upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.
NKJV

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?

For the help of His countenance.
NKJV

Ps 42:9-11
9 I will say to God my Rock,
"Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
10 As with a breaking of my bones,
My enemies reproach me,
While they say to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"

11 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.
NKJV

And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.

the tremors that shift mountains.

I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

your consolation brought joy to my soul.

Isa 41:10-13
10 Don't panic. I'm with you.
There's no need to fear for I'm your God.
I'll give you strength. I'll help you.
I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.

11 "Count on it: Everyone who had it in for you
will end up out in the cold —
real losers.
Those who worked against you
will end up empty-handed —
nothing to show for their lives.
12 When you go out looking for your old adversaries
you won't find them —
Not a trace of your old enemies,
not even a memory.
13 That's right. Because I, your God,
have a firm grip on you and I'm not letting go.
I'm telling you, 'Don't panic.
I'm right here to help you.'

Shall be ashamed and disgraced;
They shall be as nothing,
And those who strive with you shall perish.

Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you
Shall be as nothing,
As a nonexistent thing.

Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'

And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.

Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
8 He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
9 Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
The moth will eat them up.

Mark 9:17-27
17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, "Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not."

19 He answered him and said, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me." 20 Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

21 So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?"

And he said, "From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."

23 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!" 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, "He is dead." 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.

Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord.

Isa 54:11-17
11 "O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
16 "Behold, I have created the blacksmith
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,"
Says the Lord.

I will build you with stones of turquoise,
your foundations with sapphires.

your gates of sparkling jewels,
and all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your sons will be taught by the Lord,
and great will be your children's peace.
14 In righteousness you will be established:
Tyranny will be far from you;
you will have nothing to fear.
Terror will be far removed;
it will not come near you.
15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
whoever attacks you will surrender to you.

16 "See, it is I who created the blacksmith
who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc;
17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,"
declares the Lord.
