What does help look like for me?

Do you often pray to the Lord that you need help? Do you wish others could discern your need and then provide it for you? Do you know its ok to let others know the areas of your greatest need? Sometimes we have to be our own advocates by being clear on what it is we need from others and then be willing to receive it.

 But do you know yourself well enough to advocate for what you really need?  Have you ever taken the time to analyze what does help really look like for me and then be  willing to do what is necessary to ask  for it specifically? Often times we speak vaguely or speak around a challenge and miss our opportunity to bring resolution and help. In addition, our failure to speak directly about our need causes those who are willing to help to provide what they believe addresses the need and sometimes fall short despite their good intention. The best thing you can do for the person who is willing and able to be a blessing to you is for you to be clear on what the need is and to be specific on what help for you really looks like instead of allowing someone to bless you with kindness and your need remains unfulfilled.

Help is available if you would just seek and ask. Let’s get to know ourselves so that we can advocate and fight to get the real help we desire and to help show those willing souls what help for us really looks like.

Journal Entry: Take some time to write down the areas of help you desire. Create clear examples and strategies for how someone could assist you and remember to be specific. Then write a prayer to the Lord to send someone to you who can meet your need or direct you in ways for you to bring about the solutions you desire.
