We depend on those in authority to help us with emergencies. When we are in danger, we call police officers for assistance.  In case of a fire, we call the fire department. There is a number to call for almost every emergency. 

However, there are some things that another person can not help us with. No matter how many times we may call or ask for help, they may not have the ability to help.

You may be facing a problem right now in your health, family, finances, depression, anxiety, addiction, and so on. You find yourself asking for help in every place and not finding it. You feel as though your life is on fire but there is no one to put it out. 

The Word of God, however, promises that when we ask God for help, He hears us. 

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. Isaiah 59:1

When we call upon God, He hears. There is no number to call or wait time. At any moment we can ask God for His help and He will send it. 

God is not far away, though at times it may seem He is. If you are in need of help, don’t be afraid to ask. 

God hears you and He can stretch out His hand to help you, no matter where you are or what you may be going through. 

May the God of the Bible bless you,

Bishop Bira Joshua
