HELP, LORD
Throughout Scripture we find many people calling out to the Lord for help. Although God knows our needs even before we ask, He is desirous for us to come to Him in prayer and bring our needs before Him. "The Psalmist runs straight forward to his God, with a well considered prayer; he knows what he is seeking, and where to seek it. Lord, teach us to pray in the same blessed manner."
(Charles H. Spurgeon) The following Scriptures are examples of people calling out to God.2 Chronicles 32:8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
