People can give me good ideas and suggestion on how to help myself or handle situation. But, unless God gives me the remembrance, understanding and strength to apply those ideas it doesn't work. God is truly from where my help comes. He works all things out in me like a potter working out an air pocket in clay in order to strengthen a vessel.

 Talking To God

Teach me Your ways O Lord I pray.

Show me Your paths I don't want to stray.

Teach me Your will.

Help me to be humble and still.

I long to hear You clearly.

Your words, Your, ways, I hold on to dearly.

Help me to treat others rightly.

Cause Your light to shine in me brightly.

Help me! I feel like I am falling!

Help me! I know You hear my cry!

Help me! I know You will answer before I am done calling.

Thank You Lord for never leaving me or ever passing me by.

I feel You set my feet back on the path You have for me.

I know You are here because Your fruit I can see.

Help !

Help I've fallen and can't get up! Help I am at the end of my rope! Help I feel that life is out of control! Help I feel like I am under attack! Sometimes I go through times that seem like hell. But today I realized that hell has been cut short to spell help. Hell ends quickly if  I stop quickly and put the p on it before it becomes full blown. Watch this hel Pause. By pausing; I stopped a hellish attack. Because I took time to calm down and to think. About what I could do that might make things better instead of worse. (Like not go with my first response to yell, scream, kick, hit, or cry) Watch again. Hel Pray. Once again a hellish situation was halted before it could get any worse. My prayer may have been two words "God help." Or even one name "Jesus." said prayerfully. But I still believe God answers prayer especially desperate ones from the heart no matter how small they are. Watch again. Hel Patience. Patience can stop a hellish attack. Being patient is not always easy and fun. But patience can nip it in the bud before it goes past the point of no return. By helping me not say words I cant take back or do things I wish I hadn't. Watch again. Hel Plant. Plant seeds of  peace, calm, hope, and the truth spoken in love, and through kind words. I may not see the hellish incidence stop then and there but somewhere down the road I may see the good it did. It may even keep the line of communication open to heal things later. These are only a few things I have learned about what to do in times of stress. As I grow I am sure I will learn more. But for now this is enough to keep me hanging in their when the going gets tough. Also Hel Promises. I can hang on to and recall or read about God's promises at these times and find some peace and hope in that. One of them is He promised not to give me more than I can bear. He will never leave me or forsake me. And if I come to Him He wont cast me out. One thing I do know is He never breaks His promises. I give thanks to God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit who teaches me these things! Amen
