"Oh Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your HELP. Listen closely to my prayer, Oh Lord, hear my urgent cry. I will call to you whenever I am in trouble, and you will answer me."
When you are in deep trouble and afraid of what may happen, who do you call to? Do you need help today for some important aspect of your life? Do you need to be forgiven for something you have done or someone you have sinned against? If you need Mercy and Forgiveness and a new life there is only one you can call on. Oh Lord, HELP! Others may listen but no one else can give you the right answers. Only God is good and ready to forgive. He is full of unfailing Love for all who ask for His HELP! He will listen to your prayers and urgent cries when you call upon Him. If you are in trouble, He will answer you!
What a comfort it is to know that we have a Lord God who hears our prayers and answers them. When you are in distress and crying out you need someone who can be there and has the power to answer your prayers. He all ready knows about your sins and trespasses and He has all ready forgive you, if you are His child. He forgets forever your past and gives you a new heart and a new and eternal life in there place. That is why this scripture reminds us of the fact that the Lord is so Good. That is why He will answer you and help to answer your urgent cries for help.
What good does it do to ask for help if the person is incapable of helping you? If you are in trouble you need some one with the answer and the ability to help. That may be possible in this world on occasion, but it is never true if the consequences are eternal. No man or collection of men can help you to be Saved. You can not Save yourself. You need a God who is all powerful and can answer your prayers and requests no matter what they may be. The best part to remember is that only God can supply all of your needs and answer all of your requests. We need to thank Him at all times. Oh God, HELP!
