Help me, God!

Psalm 121:1 & 2
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

Wow, this is the first thing to hear/read this morning and it quenches my parched soul. God is my source of help. He is my Lord. He is my Father. He wants to help me. I just need to look to Him and He is there, ready and willing to help me. He is more than capable to help me. He is the maker of all things! He will always be there for me.

What a night. Last night I woke up at about 3am and couldn't shake the thought of that missing laptop. I so badly wanted to find it. I couldn't stop thinking about where I misplaced it. I felt guilty for not knowing where it went. I was worrying and dreading all the possibilities. Maybe I left it on my car then drove away. Maybe I left it at my desk and someone walked away with it. Maybe it is in my house and I am just not looking hard enough, and when the time comes to return it, I won't be able to. I started begging God for help. I prayed that if He would just reveal where it was to me, then I could get some rest. I was asking God for forgiveness, although it wasn't intentional that I lost the laptop. I think I had to force myself back to sleep at about 4:50am. I actually did walk through the whole house again to make sure that it wasn't someplace that I had overlooked earlier. But the fact is, it's not in the house. But no matter where it is, God knows, and He hears my cry, my plea. He will help me. Today, with the ticket sales going live, He'll help me. I need to repeat Psalm 121:1 & 2 in my head and heart over and over today. He is my help. No one else. In Mark 9:23, Jesus says that "All things are possible for one who believes." I need Jesus to help me with my unbelief. He can indeed show me where the laptop went.

Lord Jesus, I need Your help. Father God, I need Your help! I lift my eyes to You, Lord. You are my helper. I am willing to be helped by You. Lord, please be with us today as we preview the Youth Choir musical and sell the tickets. May all the things we do in Your name have Your favor and blessing and help. I cannot do it without You. I love You, Father. Lord Jesus, teach me how to be a better follower today. Help me not to lose things. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
