Ask for Help

Sometimes we have to ask for help, even when everyone around us seems to be trying to deflect attention away from our need. It takes courage and persistence to ignore those who would try and silence us – yet as the blind man’s experience shows, determination pays off.

Dear Lord, thank you for all you do for us. Help me to recognise my own and other people’s need for your assistance and help them find the support they require. May we all listen to your guidance and act on it.
