God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth -John 4:24.
A teenager has just given birth to a child she does not know how to take care of. In secrecy she leaves the child on the steps of the father's parents. A woman takes her 16 year old son who has cerebral palsy to the CPC for daily care but this time doesn't return to pick him up. She'd had enough being a single parent. She loves her son very much but was at her breaking point. For the past ten years she has been working four jobs per week to make ends meet.
Juggling a telemarketing job in the mornings during the week and a housekeeping job in the afternoons at a motel. Then getting up early on the weekend to work at a fast food restaurant and leaving there to get to the hospital for a part-time weekend job changing bedpans and mopping up hospital rooms, she had had enough. She just cannot go on anymore.
A woman has sought refuge in a home for "battered" women or to sugarcoat it, a home for victims of domestic violence. A child just ran away from a foster home because he/she is being mistreated. This child's parents were both arrested for drug possession and it's not the first, second or third time. And the list goes on. Where does it stop? Where is the true help for these people in the world?
The places of refuge set up most times by people who had the same experience and was able to emerge victorious are the places most effective. Why? They've been there. They know exactly how it feels to be in those "shoes." They are the true worshippers who worship God in Spirit and in truth. When Jesus was here in the flesh He did the same and now He seeks anyone who is willing. He is there with those going through and He's there with those offering help in this present day and age. If you've been through some similar suffering and came out will you offer your services to help someone now going through the same? And if you are the one going through just say a prayer to God. It is simple. Just say, " God please help me!" He's only a prayer away.
Prayer: Lord there are so many people who need help in this world, to try to take on the task of being the answer would be overwhelming for any one person. Thank you for providing all the help needed Lord. For we can do all things through Jesus Christ our Lord who strengthens us. Amen.
Encouragement: Are you going through unbearable burdens right now. Help is only a prayer away. Have you been through some seemingly unbearable situation and came out victorious. Volunteer your service to a center that helps people going through a similar situation. You'll be surprise at the blessings you'll receive just by being a listener or an advisor for just a couple hours per day or per week as you're able to. God Bless You!!!
