“Help LORD…”– {Psalm 12:1}.

Two words that are packed full of humility, Faith, and Power. The word, “LORD,” {Yahweh} in the Old Testament, is used to reveal Him as LORD in various aspects.

The LORD is revealed as …

The CREATOR -{Ish 45:17}
The PROVIDING ONE- {Gen 22:14}
The SELF- EXISTENT ONE- {Ex 3:13-15}
The COVENANT KEEPING, FAITHFUL ONE-{Deut 7:9}
The UNCHANGING ONE -{Malachi 3;6}
The SOVEREIGN One- {Isaiah 45:18; 46:10}

The word “HELP,” as used in Psalm 121;1 means to run to the aid of someone who needs assistance, who is in need, distress!

So when you pray “HELP LORD,” You are turning to Him as an attitude, and act of faith, and faith PLEASES Him {Heb 11:6}. Faith in Him GLORIFIES Him {Rom 4:20-21} and when you cry “HELP LORD,” you are asking Him who is more than willing, able, capable, loving, wise enough to assist you in your distress. And who can hinder the LORD, who Is Creator, all powerful who creates from nothing, effortlessly? No one, can thwart Him! He provides as He has prevision and makes provision! He is the Self Existing One in need of nothing outside of Himself to inform, sustain, enable Him to exercise His will effortlessly, effectively as He pleases! He is the Covenant keeping, faithful One who has never broken a promise and will not begin to do so now as it would be a violation of His nature! He is the Unchanging One, while all around changes, decays, ages, no change does He know. He is unchanging in His Person, Promises, Power to exercise those promises. Unchanging in His perspective as revealed in His Word. Unchanging! He is Sovereign, the last five letters spell R-E-I-G-N! He reigns over creation, salvation, eternal destination and every situation. He is Sovereign King, who cannot be toppled, defeated, dethroned the nations are as a drop in the bucket to Him…It is to this One whom you cry out, “HELP LORD!” What a Person to call upon! 

Two words; One, reveals your conscious need, and humility, that you turn to Him, who is LORD, and as I have briefly shared some of the meanings related to the word “LORD,” in the Old Testament- what a POWERFUL PRAYER, “Help LORD,” is, because HE Is The POWERFUL PERSON..!

  •  WHAT A POWERFUL PRAYER
  • WHAT A POWERFUL, PERSONAL PERSON IS “The LORD!”
  • WHAT A PERSON TO CRY OUT TO AND TURN TO HELP FOR, KNOWING HE HELPS!
  • THE REALIZATION HE HEARS, CARES AND HELPS, SHOULD INCREASINGLY PRODUCE REST OF FAITH IN OUR FAITHFUL HELPER- THE LORD!

“Help LORD!”… a lot more powerful, personal, when you think who He is!

TURN TO HIM

THINK ON HIM

TRUST HIM

PRAISE HIM

PRAY TO HIM

PASS ON TO SOMEONE ELSE

MEMORIZE, MEDITATE, APPLY; Place somewhere so you can look at it, ON a 3 by 5 card and carry with you to read, place on a bathroom mirror, over a sink in the kitchen, by a bed stand… and be reminded of HIM and able to share with someone else who it is they are asking HELP from…THE LORD!

We at times can be so overwhelmed, or indeed so confident in Him, these words directed to Him, knowing He can fill in the gaps and how to fulfill what will glorify Him and spread His fame best, we can be assured of and when we cry out to Him, independent of circumstances, He is able, wise enough, loving to run to aid us in a way that is best for His Name, His honor! At times when you feel overwhelmed, weary perhaps, the cry of the heart to Him may be as simple as two words, “HELP LORD,” but as we have seen some of the characteristics associated with His Title, “LORD,” reveal something of the supremacy of Him who loves us…loves and cares for you. Cry out to Him, He hears you,” In my desperation I prayed and The LORD LISTENED …” {Read Psalm 34:6-NLT}. Note His intimate involvement with you. Though in Heaven this moment He is been lauded with a crescendo of pure unadulterated worship and adoration, He like He did with David, “listened,” to his cry for help and acted. You have His ear because you have His heart of love He has gifted to you.

“Where does my HELP come from? My HELP Comes from the LORD, Maker of Heaven and Earth”- {Psalm 121:1}

“HELP LORD!”
