I have heard all about you Lord. I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. -Habakkuk 3:1(NLT)
HELP US LORD!
A poem and essay by ILMA
When I am sad, lonely and feeling beaten
Will you help me Lord, so I can be strengthened?
In times of my deepest need for comfort and reassurance
Will you be there to grant me mercy and patience?
You have delivered me many times from many afflictions
Will you listed to my cries for help in all my tribulations?
I am filled with awe by your amazing works and power
Will you lift up my spirit, so I can let the enemy cower?

Many people fear the word “pray.” They have no idea that when they acknowledge God in their weaknesses and trials and use the word “help me!”, they are actually intimately praying. Praying is an act of humility that acknowledges the presence of God and that you need him. How often do you say “Help me, Lord?” If you have never asked help from anyone or from God, you are in serious trouble.
The bible says that we only need to say the magic words, “Help me, Lord.” He wants us to acknowledge our need for his forgiveness, blessings, grace and mercy. When was the last time you asked God for help?
PRAYER
Lord, show me how to ask help from you always.
REFLECTION
Why do you think it is hard for some people to ask help from God?

CORNERSTONE Poem Devotional
June 29 ________________________________________
The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. –Acts 4:11(NLT)
CORNERSTONE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you ever been hurt by someone’s oppression?
Do you feel intimidated by people’s discrimination?
Jesus Christ himself was rejected by the religious
He was considered trash instead of precious.
Christ is the cornerstone that the builders rejected
He died for all those who are oppressed and dejected
Cling to Jesus and your bondage will be set free
He will bring you into light and you will see.

I think that each person has somehow experienced rejection or being discriminated in some form or another. Many mental illnesses are caused by this terrible experience of oppression or being put down. The only way we can alleviate the pain of it is by being in the truth that only God can give. The enemy wants to kill and destroy us. He doesn’t want us to seek God and hunger for his words because it will expose all the lies that he tells us.
Just like any other human being, Christ was rejected, oppressed, tortured and killed. He is close to the broken hearted and rescues those whose spirits are crushed (Psalm 34:18). He was rejected by the builders as the cornerstone. The religious was threatened by him and wanted him dead and destroyed because they didn’t really understand his kingdom. They didn’t know that he was the foundation of the church.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for being my root.
REFLECTION
How have you rejected Christ in your life?
