Lisa Notes: “Heaven help me”

This is the prayer I prayed most frequently in El Salvador:

“Lord, help me, help me, help me, help me.”

Yeah, real mature, I know. But it’s what little girls are prone to say to their daddies when they’re in over their heads.

. . . More on that later.

For now, enjoy these lyrics by Matt Maher.

Heaven Help Me
Matt Maher
LYRICS

I don't wanna live tomorrow
For another rainy day
I don't wanna say I'm sorry
If I can avoid the pain
I don't wanna gain the whole world
Just to turn and lose it all
’Cause when it's time to jump I don't wanna guess
If You'll gonna help break the fall
If there's any hope around

CHORUS:
Heaven help me now
Heaven help me now
I lift You up and I lay me down
Heaven help me now

I don't wanna sing Your praises
Just to hear 'em on the radio
I don't wanna stand for justice
If I'm not among the poor
I don't wanna claim to know You
If your name's not on my heart
’Cause when it's time to go I don't wanna look back
Just to see I was playin' a part
If there's any hope around

CHORUS

Everybody's quoting the bible
Like it could be truth or lies
And I'm standing on the corner
With the saints and the sinners
Tryin' to quote Your love
With my life

CHORUS

Isn't it wonderful that God doesn't require long repetitious prayers in order to answer? AMEN! Here I see you saying three words, "Lord, help me!" and in your previous post you used two words to share how we need to live out the gospel "follow Me". Simplicity...He's all about it, and yet we try to make it complicated at times. Thank you, Lisa, for sharing...and I'm looking forward to reading about your, "Lord, help me" moments while you were gone. :-) Hugs to you, my Friend!

I pray constantly for my kids, our country, and for my Father to remind me to not fear the world or anything in it, to bring Him honor by not fearing what He controls and knows the outcome anyway. And for guidance.

"Lord, help me." Sometimes that is the most profound prayer.

I have a resident who has a vocabulary of seven words. Six of the seven are "God, I can't do it anymore."

I was contemplating just this past week as I listened to her, how important it is for each of us to come to the place that this simple-minded woman is at--realizing that we are incapable, utterly at a loss, completely dependent on God's grace.

I've prayed that so many times. I'm thankful God responds to our whispered prayers.

This is prayer I often pray. Sometimes all you can think or say is just "help me Lord". Great video.
