HELP MY LIFE, OH LORD
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: WEDNESDAY, 13 MARCH 2024
In the journey of life, there come moments when we feel overwhelmed, burdened, and in need of assistance beyond our human capacity. It’s during these times that our hearts cry out, “Help my life, Oh Lord.” We may face challenges that seem insurmountable, burdens that weigh us down, or circumstances that leave us feeling lost and helpless. In such moments, it’s crucial to remember where our help truly comes from. Yes, the Psalmist understood this truth profoundly when he penned the words of Psalm 121.
SCRIPTURE: Scripture: “I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” – Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: The Psalmist lifted his eyes beyond the mountains, beyond the visible realm, to the Maker of heaven and earth. He recognized that his help didn’t come from the strength of his own hands or the wisdom of his own mind but from the Lord, the One who created the heavens and the earth. Likewise beloved, we are invited to lift our eyes beyond the confines of our circumstances and fix our gaze upon the Almighty God. He is not distant or unaware of our struggles; rather, He is intimately acquainted with every detail of our lives. He knows our needs even before we articulate them, and His help is ever-present, ever-sufficient, and ever-ready. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: When we cry out, “Help my life, Oh Lord,” we can rest assured that God hears us. He is not a passive observer but an active participant in our lives. His love for us is unfailing, His grace is boundless, and His power is unmatched.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, in our moments of weakness, let us lean on the Lord’s strength. In our moments of confusion, let us seek His wisdom.
PRAYER: O LORD, thank You for being our ever-present help in times of need. When life feels overwhelming and burdens weigh us down, help us to lift our eyes to You. Strengthen us with Your power, guide us with Your wisdom, and comfort us with Your presence. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As we lift our eyes to the Lord, may we trust in His unfailing love and find peace in His promises. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Psalm 121:1-2
