Psalm 124
Devotional:
Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 124:8)
I praise and thank God because my help is in His name alone. A child who needs help calls for mom or dad because the child knows they will come. Mothers sleep with one ear open so that when a child calls in the night, she recognizes the voice and she responds to that bedside in an instant. Fathers will guard their children, even to the point of shielding them with their own body. Parents can experience deep hurt if their children call another name for help. It is the same with our heavenly Father. When you need help, it gives God great joy to hear you call His name.

Pray it:
Father, I confess that I am often afraid or ashamed to cry out to you for help. Forgive me for my pride and self-reliance, and help me to recognize that I can and need to cry out to you. Amen.
