Lord, Help Me

"Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me."  Matthew 15:25.  The woman had a daughter that was vexed with a devil.  In her need, she came to Christ.  With that need, she brought a great faith.  Faith and need bring us to Jesus.  We must not come to Christ only with our need.  We must also bring our faith.  Who but Jesus could help her?  Who but Jesus could answer the deep need of her heart?  In our moments of stress, we need Jesus.  In our times of temptation, we need Jesus.  We all travel through valleys.  We all feel the pressure of life.  We all have someone who is dear unto us that needs help.  Jesus can and will help us.  Jesus can relieve the pain that we feel.  Jesus can lift the burden that we bear.  Only Jesus can fill the void of emptiness that we all experience.  This woman sought mercy from Jesus.  It is mercy that we seek.  Mercy flows from the wellspring of God's love.  Jesus will not turn away from the faith that seeks His help.  Despite the fact that His disciples wanted Him to send her away and that He had come only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, His heart was captured by her faith.  In our need with our faith, let us worship Him as we cry for help.
