My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Patricia Raybon  …  USE THS LNK  -       …  tells of being a young writer who balked at going to God to help her meet writing deadlines, thinking that there were so many, more critical, things one could go to God for help.  But the ODB author, seeing many in the Bible who were encouraged - or commanded - to go to God for help, for some seemingly small reasons.

Do we get it, my fellow readers?  PLEASE take in the linked song and especially the Scriptures shared above.  Because if you do, like me, I’m certain you will come away realizing that we Christians can - AND MUST - go to God for His help … ANYTIME, and in any place in our lives.   Because our Lord ALWAYS is there … to hear our prayers and our pleas for help.  I’m praying for his help right now!  How about you?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …for being there to help me in my times of need . like with now!   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... You’re always there when we need Your help. … Amen
