We live in a world where we are told to be self-reliant and independent. The trouble with living like this, all the time, is that when we need help we don't find it easy to ask for it. People are willing to come to our assistance and to help, but they never know that we are in need.
Taken to the ultimate extreme, our self-reliance teaches us never to ask God for help. Either we feel we can cope by ourselves or we may question whether God even wants to help us.
I believe that God desires to be by our side. What about you? Are you willing to ask for help?
2 Chronicles 14:11 - "Help us, O Lord our God, for we trust in you alone."
