You Have To Ask For Help

There's a lot of negative things happening in the world today:
  1. FAMILIES - families are breaking up, divorce is higher than it's ever been, children don't listen to their parents, people don't want to get married or have children etc.
  2. EDUCATION - there's a crisis in education, students are bored and disinterested, standards have dropped, children drop out of school and don't want to return etc.
  3. CULTURE - there's a deterioration in culture, everyone's looking out for themselves, no one cares about anybody else, people are cold and unfriendly etc.
  4. WORK - some people are slaves to their jobs and work too much, others can't find work, everyone's seeking personal profit and gain even at the expense of others etc.
  5. GOVERNMENTS - some governments have failed and collapsed, some are unstable, there's civil unrest, protests etc.
  6. FINANCE - a financial crisis is affecting people, businesses and governments, debt is a serious problem etc.
  7. HEALTH - depression, mental health and addiction are on the rise, under nutrition and obesity exist side by side, the cost of health care is rising etc.
  8. ECOLOGY - there's severe weather, floods, earthquakes, pollution etc.
  9. OTHER - everywhere you look, something's falling apart
Jesus said, "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass ..." (Matthew 24:6, NKJV)

For all the negative things that are happening in the world today, understand that there's purpose: we have to leave the quality of selfishness behind and enter the quality of bestowal.

When you're ready for help, cry out to The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He will hear your cry and help you.

Ask Him to change your internal qualities from selfishness to bestowal, and He will. Ask Him to guide you in paths of righteousness, and He will. Ask Him to reveal the purpose of your life to you, and He will. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you, and He will. Just ask.

Remember, YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR HELP. God won't impose Himself on us, WE HAVE TO ASK HIM FOR HELP. Your request has to be sincere and it has to come from the heart. Just ask.

Do not be afraid, God is with us.
