I have trouble asking people for help. I always have. Maybe it’s because of a lack of self-esteem. Maybe it’s because I feel that most people have enough to worry about without me adding to it. Maybe it’s because I have trouble trusting others with my problems. Whatever the reason, my thought processes have led to me being exhausted and lonely on many occasions. I know that I need the help, but how do I get over myself long enough to get it? There’s only one way… by doing the thing I fear the most: asking for it. God tells us that, “…You do not have because you do not ask…” (James 4:2, NIV) He also says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8, NIV) So what’s my next step? The next time I need help, ask. I can’t wait until my thought processes get the better of me… I just need to go ahead and ask. Then when the help comes, and according to God’s word it will, I can receive it with a grateful heart.
