Whenever we are afraid, no matter what the circumstances - be it for health reasons, for spiritual reasons, or for physical reasons - the Lord has promised us in His Word that He is there for us.  All we have to do is ask for His help.  So, I encourage you now to do just that - reach out to Him and let Him meet any need you have right at this very moment.  HE IS THERE WAITING TO HELP YOU!

 OH LORD, I NEED YOU NOW

Oh Lord, I need You now,
Like I've never done before…
I need to know You're with me,
For my wounds are open and raw.

Oh Lord, in times of trouble,
And when my body's racked with pain,
I need to feel Your presence…
To know my cries are not in vain.
 

My heart is faint and weary,
And my mind is filled with doubt,
And I need Your reassurance
That to You I can reach out.

"I'm here, My child, I really am;
Of that you need have no doubt.
I know when you're in trouble,
And I hear when you cry out.

 You have no need to worry,
And you have no need to fear,
For I am always with you…
Yes, I am always near.

When you load is hard to bear
I will carry it for you,
And you can always trust Me,
For My promises are true.

I took your pain upon the cross –
By My stripes your wounds were healed.
So don't give up, just look to Me,
And you'll see My love revealed."
