Why is it that it is so hard to ask for help? We know from experience that when we ask, God shows up. So, why do we wait? Ask.
And, He shows up –
in heartbreak,
when the road is long,
when the dreams and the talents weigh heavy,
when family and work get frayed,
His touch comes home to the needful soul.
Ask.
He offers a new doorway,
His spiritual muscle moves you,
He slathers on the exact new attitude needed.
He opens new ways.
Ask.

‘He said: “In my distress I called to the Lord , and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry.’ (Jonah 2:2 NIV)
