Help (One Word Prayers) - a podcast by Miamisburg Christian Church

There will be a time in your life if it hasn’t happened already when you will need help. Thankfully, we have a father in heaven who loves to write stories of redemption. It is the fact that all of us will need help that we should also look for ways to serve those around us, because when we participate in God’s kingdom of restoration it becomes stronger and everyone is served better.

Charles Spurgeon says this, “It is ours, not to speculate, but to perform acts of mercy and love, according to the tenor of the gospel. Let us then be less inquisitive and more practical, less for cracking doctrinal nuts, and more for bringing forth the bread of life to the starving multitudes.”

We see the person begging for cash at an intersection and we wonder what they did in their life to end them up there. Or we end up so calloused by stories of scam artists that we don’t even notice the person begging.

We all have blinders thrown onto us by expectations, calendars, fears, and doubts, but God is in the business of giving sight to the blind.

Charles Spurgeon also says this, “Whenever you see a man in sorrow and trouble, the way to look at it is, not to blame him and inquire how he came there, but to say, ‘Here is an opening for God’s almighty love. Here is an occasion for the display of the grace and goodness of the Lord.’”

This week we are going to look at the one-word prayer, “Help” and see how we can change the way we look at life to bring more help to the world around us.
