“Help, Lord!”

“Help, Lord!”

It seems at first a hopeless cry, ascending from a soul in deep despair—

Yet, ‘tis an act of faith, from one who knows that only God can reach him there!

When rising from the end of self and bringing with it nothing but its need,

It is a cry that God, in love, by His own Word obliged Himself to heed.

O soul, when earnestly, with humble heart, these desperate words you say,

Then know the answer to your need is only just a still, small voice away!

For God will surely speak a word, the miracle of strengthening grace to start,

And He will send His Comforter to teach His Word’s sweet meaning to your heart.

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. Isaiah 59:1

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26

But He giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your

hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to

mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up. James 4:6-10
