John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
Oh, how we need our Helper. He is everything we need at every moment we face.
One day I (Pastor Ellie) was struggling with something that was very hard to swallow. I truly didn’t know how to handle it.
I cried out to God, and said, “Father, I don’t know what to do with this. I don’t know how to handle it. It’s bigger than me. It’s more than my mind knows what to do with. I’m afraid.”
It was at that moment; I felt warmth, like that of a blanket, being gently placed in the empty hole that I had (of not knowing what to do).
And with that blanket came everything I needed to bring me such comfort, strength and the ability to get up and move.
The fear was gone. The emptiness was filled. The wisdom came and got me on my feet and moved me forward.
Every bit of what I needed came in that form of a blanket and comforted me in every aspect.
I can’t explain it. I just knew I was OK after that! It was that easy.
You see, most times it is simply fear that grips us.
We become afraid to know what steps to take, afraid to do the wrong thing, afraid to make a mistake, afraid to reach out, afraid to be alone. We may even be afraid to not make a move at all.
Fear grips our hearts at times and can paralyze us, keeping us standing still.
In some cases fear will cause us to go backwards because we don’t know what to do with what we face.
But know that our Helper is waiting to hear from us and bring such a great comfort in times of despair.
In those times when we feel lost or hard-pressed, we have Him. That is what He is here for!
2 Corinthians 4:8 (NKJV) 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair…
