| "Help, Lord..." (Psalm 12:1). This is the briefest prayer in the Bible. David is not the only one who prayed thus. All the Saints of God in all ages have looked to Him for help and cried, "Help, Lord." And well may we look to Him for help, for He has promised it to His people. "Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am Thy God. I will strengthen thee, yea I will help thee..." And again: "Fear not, I will help thee." Once more we hear Him say, "I will help thee, saith the Lord and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:14). What promises these are, coming from Him who has made Heaven and earth, from Him who loveth us, and He is the only help of His people. To look for help to the Lord only and then to find that He is the helper of His people at all times is faith's lesson to learn. "Help, Lord"-- How direct and positive it is and well suited as an exclamatory prayer throughout the day. In sudden danger we can cry, "Help, Lord." In bodily weakness and pain, when the fiery darts of the enemy are aimed against us, when conflict with the wicked spirits is upon us, when other difficulties suddenly arise, we can invoke His help by crying to Him, "Help, Lord." "Help, Lord!" -- We can say when a testimony is to be given to some unsaved soul, or when we undertake any other kind of service for Him. How often in reading the Scriptures, or writing expositions of His Word, we come upon difficulties. The heart does not grasp the meaning, and then the brief prayer, "Help, Lord," looking to Him and to His Spirit, and the light was flashed upon His Word and help received. Make these two words your own throughout the day. Breathe them out at every occasion when His gracious help is needed. He will never fail to hear us. Oh! How we need to cling to Him and look to Him in these testing times. Taken from Our Hope Magazine, Volume 25, 1919 Further Reading: Be Encouraged Today... Even In Your Storms.
