When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

Isaiah 43:2

Those who have faith in God and Jesus Christ will be protected and helped when in need.

I have more than one example of God helping me when I had no more strength to fight. The most recent one was about two weeks ago. Here is the short story what happened:

Context

I came home from work and I was exhausted(partly because I haven’t slept well). My wife had some errands to do so I was home alone with my daughter. She just woke up and was full of energy, so much so that I didn’t know how to keep up with her.

What did I do?

I dropped to my knees and had one of my purest prayers ever.

I had prayed my usual prayers (Lord’s Prayer, Hail Mary…) and then I usually follow up with a “free speech” prayer. It’s my short statement in which I express my gratefulness for everything God does for me. It’s also a part in which I would talk about what bothers me and with what I need help.

That day I said something like this:

“…Please God help me today with my daughter. Give me enough strength and endurance to keep up with her energy until her bedtime. Don’t let her suffer from my lack of attention…

What was the result?

The more I was going into it and the more I was speaking from the heart the better I felt. Suddenly I felt a burst of warmth and energy spreading from my chest throughout my body. Once I was done praying, it felt like I just woke up from a long sleep, fully rested and energized.

Feeling this, I just looked up, thanked God for His miracle, wiped my tears and went on with the day. That day God gave me more than I asked for, because not only was I fully energized with my daughter but I also had the strength to spend some time with my wife later that night.

Conclusion

Ask God for help when you need it, but don’t forget to also express your gratefulness for Him. Walk the earth with your faith centered in Him, don’t be ashamed of your fate no matter what and He will protect you.

Have a lovely Wednesday and if you like what you see come back tomorrow.
