Helplessness

Helplessness

My Question for God

How can I find hope when there’s nothing I can do?

A Moment with God

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. It is in your name that we have come against this vast horde. O LORD, you are our God; do not let mere men prevail against you!”

2 Chronicles 14:11

You see the trouble and grief they cause. You take note of it and punish them. The helpless put their trust in you. You defend the orphans. . . . LORD, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them.

Psalm 10:14, 17

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

When you ask God for help, and trust that he will help, you open the lifeline to the One who loves doing the impossible! If you insist on trying to get yourself out of trouble, you will never see what God can do.

I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:10

Look at the situation from God’s perspective. As long as you look through eyes of helplessness, you will see only your hopeless condition and you blind yourself to the many ways in which God may already be helping you. When you look through the eyes of faith in God, you will find hope and help.

Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

Psalm 63:7

Rejoice as you remember how God has helped you in the past, and be assured of his presence and protection in the future. He who walked with the saints of the past is here with you today and tomorrow.

Divine Promise

I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth! . . . The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.

Psalm 121:1-2, 8
