STRETCH FORTH YOUR HAND

When I think back to being a child and all of the times I needed a helping hand someone was there to help me.

When I jumped off my cousins bike before it stopped and my foot got caught in between the spokes and my foot went all the way around, my parents and grandmother came to my rescue, picked me up, took me in the house, cleaned off my foot and applied ointment to my open flesh. I remember screaming in so much pain, I remember the fear on their faces when they looked at my ankle, wondering if I had broke anything.  I still have a scar to this day, but I am healed, what should of been a broke or malled up foot, is perfect and you would never know anything happened to it unless I showed you.

And that is exactly how the Lord is with us. When you are going through a rough time in your life, and you need some one to run to your aid, rescue you, pick you up and clean you off, apply ointment to your wounds... Call on Jesus, stretch forth your hand, and he will rescue you.

My Prayer: Dear Lord,

Most Gracious Father we thank you for being our salvation, our refuge, our shelter, and our redeemer, Lord I ask that as we stretch forth our hand to you in the time of need, that you will comfort and protect us like only you know how. Lord I ask that you be a fence around us, let your angels encamp around and about us, and Lord by your divine will and purpose for our lives, help us to understand that what ever hardships we face, it is for our good, and you will make away for our escape because you love us just that much.

In Jesus name we pray,

Amen
