Crying out for Help when All seems Lost

Verses: Psalms 44: 1 - 26

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.

My thoughts about the verses:

There are times in our life that we are pushed to our breaking point.  We do not feel like we can do anything else.  We are lost in our pain and suffering.  In those moments we call out for our Savior to save us.

I am thinking tonight about the world and the struggles that people are facing.  I am thinking about those that are fighting others because their religions are different.  I am thinking about those that are fighting because of their ethnicity being different.  I am thinking about those that are being hurt because of their gender identity.  I am thinking about those that are hurt because people do not understand their differences.

Our world is in a state of uproar.  People from many different lands are being faced with battles on their borders.  Innocents are being lost because of fighting taking place in different parts of the world.  I see the blood and pain of those that are suffering.  My heart breaks. 

Yet, there is hope.  In all of this chaos there is Hope.  God already knows the pleas of our hearts.  God hears our cries and is feeling the same pain that we are feeling.  God is with the innocents as they lose their life.  Jesus is with those that are struggling for food.  The Holy Spirit is with those who are suffering from illnesses that have no cure.

In all things we have HOPE.  Yet, we forget about it.  We see so much going bad in our world that we miss the good.  We miss the new births of healthy babies.  We miss the smiles of a couple walking down the aisle to enter into marriage.  We miss the arms that give us a hug when we are down.  We miss the very presence of God in others.

There is HOPE!  No matter how bad it gets God walks with us.  As our road gets too hard to tread God carries us.  God wants to be there for all people.  God is there for all who will profess that Our God is the Creator and Savior.  Yet, so many people do not want to turn their lives over to God.  They think that they can handle it their self. 

Truly there is HOPE!!  Ask God right now to take away the pain that you are experiencing.  Ask God right now to come and feel the void that you have in your life.  Ask God to be with those that are suffering.  Ask God to be with the innocents that are in the crossfire.  Ask God to love you. 

The Hope is that if you ask you will receive.  Praise God for all the little things that happen each day.  Praise God for those that make each day when things seem impossible.  Praise God for never leaving your side.  Praise God for being with the weak.  Praise God for being with those that are suffering.  For all of this God should be greatly praised. 

Prayer:

We praise you God for all that you do in our life.  Thank you for giving us Hope.  Thank you for being there when people call on your name.  Thank you for the strength that you give us each day.  Help us dear God.  We offer up our world up to you today.  Be with those that need your special touch.  In the name of the Great Hope we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Have you ever felt alone?  Have you looked at the world and seen the struggles happening?  Have you praised God for what you have?  Have you asked God to help you?  Have you asked God to help the world?  Have you asked Jesus into your life?
