Do you need a little help?
Have you ever had an area of your life that you feel stuck in? A habit you can’t seem to break? Questions about the Bible or your relationship with God?
I remember video chatting with a friend on the phone and we were talking about our walks with God. She ended up telling me that she didn’t really know how to pray.
For the next hour, I read to her what the Bible said about prayer and taught her how to pray in her own life.
I was then reminded of a time where I had called her in the middle of the night years ago where I was asking her for help and encouragement through a tough time. It went both ways.
We all need a little help from time to time and there is nothing wrong with asking for it. Sometimes we need others to lean on, to teach us, to encourage us, to correct us and help us, especially if we want to grow.
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2
The Bible tells us to carry each other’s burdens.
If we all did life alone without anybody’s help, we would never grow into the people we were meant to be.
We need help breaking habits and getting over hurdles. We need help getting over certain experiences. We need people we can talk to and be built up by. We need people to teach us and show us how to grow in our walks with God.
And in turn, we need to help others with the same things. It should become a lifestyle of improving yourself and then encouraging others to do the same.
We need to always be asking ourselves what we can be improving and not be afraid to ask others for help, especially when we need it. Sometimes as Christians, we think we have to do it all on our own and figure it out ourselves. It can be overwhelming.
God created us to be people who need community to become the best that we can be. Don’t be afraid to ask for help in any area if you need it.
