Send Help Lord

There are moments in life when words can fail us, when the weight of our burdens feels too heavy to carry. In those times, the simplest and most powerful prayer we can utter is: “Send help, Lord.” God is always listening, ready to reach into our circumstances with His strength, wisdom, and peace. We don’t need elaborate prayers—just an open heart calling out to Him.
Psalm 121:2 reminds us, “My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth” (ESV). The One who created the universe is the same One who holds us in our struggles. No problem is too great, no cry too small—He is our ever-present help.
When trouble comes, don’t hesitate. Call on God, knowing He is faithful to respond. His help may come in unexpected ways, but it will always come at the right time. That is so reassuring to any Christian.
