Help me Lord!

Psalm 121:1-2 I will lift up my eyes to the hills...From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
The Lord is our only real source of help. He is just a prayer away from our rescue. I know that He will always come through for me. He always has!! Maybe not in the way that I think He will or should, but He is always there for me.
The Hebrew word "Jehovah-Shammah from Ezekiel 48:35 means "God is there, or God is present". In Psalms 46:1 the Psalmist declares, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble".
This passage is so rich with insight and hope! Psalm32:5-7 (Amp.) "I acknowledged my sin to You...I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord", then You (instantly) forgave me the guilt and iniquity of my sin. Selah (think about that). For this let everyone who is godly pray_pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely when the waters overflow, they shall not reach him. You are a hiding place for me. Lord, preserve me from trouble. You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
