Topic: Lord, Help Me
Text: Psalm 119:81-88
81CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
86All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
88Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
Key Verse: “All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.” Psalm 119:86
Message
Life is full of challenges, troubles and trials because: “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” (Job 14:1) Some of these problems range from failure in an examination, sickness, depression, discouragement, disappointment, sin and oppression of Satan. It maybe you or your loved ones that is affected by these problems. You as a little child cannot face these challenges of life by your natural strength. You need divine support and help. This is the reason our Bible passage calls on every child to seek help from the great and mighty God Who can handle all problems of life.

Prayer for today: “Lord, help me.”

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
