A Prayer When I Need Help
iBelieve
When I found out the good news that I was pregnant, I rushed out and bought several books on baby’s first year, including how to get your baby started on a regular sleep schedule. I soon found out the authors didn’t take into account things like food sensitivities, unexpected illnesses, feeding issues, or a host of other factors that can affect a baby’s ability to rest.
And if baby doesn’t sleep, neither does mom and dad. I remember feeling inadequate as a mom. I thought something was wrong with me. I’d read all the books, for goodness’ sake. Why couldn’t I figure this out? I wanted to be a good mom. I tried everything, but I just couldn’t get him to sleep well. I needed help, but I didn’t want to ask. So I let myself fall deeper into despair instead of reaching out.

In Galatians 6:2, the apostle Paul encourages the church with this, “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.” He knew there would be times when we would need help, and as a fellowship of believers, we can fulfill God’s great plan by being there to help carry one another’s burdens.
If helping others was important enough for Paul to mention to the early church, why do we struggle with it today? Why is it so hard to ask for help? I, for one, like being the helper. I love serving and giving, but when it comes to seeking help in my time of need, I hesitate. I feel like I’m being a burden or that my people will resent me for asking. But that is contrary to God’s Word. Serving others brings joy, purpose, and abundant blessings. Our family and friends are often glad we asked and eager to lend a helping hand!
