Seeking Help in Times of Need

Reflect

The poem “Footprints in the Sand” conveys a message that during our troubled times or when we’re feeling overwhelmed, God is there to carry us. It is a poem that may resonate with a lot of people, especially these days. That is because anxiety seems to be at an all-time high. It could be because of things going on in the world or things happening in our own lives. Whatever the reason, it can be overwhelming. And while God is a steadfast companion during the difficult times of our lives, we should remember that there are also people who can help us face our challenges on a daily basis. Saying that we need help is a sign of great strength.


Pray

Lord, give me the courage
and strength to reach out for help
when I need it.
Help me to remember 
that you are walking with me
during this difficult time.
I put my trust in you,
knowing that you are always with me.


Act

If you are struggling with your mental health, reach out for help.
