Dear Young Christian:
Here is a verse that has been a great encouragement to me many times is my day-to-day life. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).I particularly appreciate the word “present.” In other words, He is always available. We can come to Him at anytime of the day or night and find that He is ready to listen and help. You will never get a busy signal when you call on the Lord, nor will you ever get put on hold, or have your call rushed through.
Here is a little prayer that I have learned to pray a lot as I have gotten older: “Help Lord” (Psalm 12:1). From the title of the Psalm we know that this was a prayer of David. David was a man who had a great many problems and difficult decisions during his life. Although he sometimes made mistakes and got into trouble, He knew where to turn when things got rough. As you face the world this week, learn to pray from the heart this short prayer, and you will find a wonderful and sure resource in times of trouble.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
