Psalm 130
A Prayer for Help
God’s help is all around me. Sometimes when I pray for God’s help I forget that He never stops helping me. His Love for me never changes. When I ask for forgiveness He has already given it. I can face my problems with courage.
I recognize God’s help in many ways. I find it in the people I meet, in Bible readings, in the words of the prophets and in the lives of the saints. Praying “The Lord’s Prayer” and “The Prayer of St. Francis” speaks volumes to my heart. Especially beautiful and rewarding is St. Paul’s writing about Love found in the 1st Letter to the Corinthians: Chapter 13.
God gave me the ultimate gift of help when He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to show me the way and to die on the cross for my sins.
When I realize the constant Love that God has for me I am filled with joy. The People of God can truly wait in joyful hope for the coming of the Lord. But I must always remember that the Peace I seek must begin in my own heart.
