Do not be afraid to ask God for help '24 

Fathers are supposed to be the strong authority figures in our homes, the leaders, the ones who have the answers! There is still a strong macho image in men today about their roles in the home, they still think of themselves as the one who must provide the main income, lead the family, have answers to life's tough questions, etc.
One of the biggest problems with men is their inability to express the need for help! It is almost as though we are afraid to ask for help because it might show us to be weak in some way! This is not only true of most other men, but of us too!
Like it or not, our kids like to see us as strong: the question then is what kind of strength will we show them, strength that admits no need of help, or strength that shows our kids where to find help when they truly need it!?
One of the finest things we can do for our families is show them that our strength does not come from our self, but that it comes from God, and our children need to learn that they should never be afraid of God's help in their lives!
Too many times we fail to run to God for help and thus our children fail to see this important example. It is no weakness to admit that we need help, in fact it shows our kids the proper place to go for help, if we fail to show this example, they will only become frustrated in life thinking they had to do it all like their dad!
Just as our kids come to their father for help, we need to go to our Heavenly father for help!
The Bible teaches us that we are to come to God for help! If we live in fear we will lose out on God's help in our lives, but when we come in faith asking God delights in helping us!
A desperate father who was not afraid to ask for help for his family found a God who would not disappoint him, and this is still true dads and moms!
Are you too afraid to confess your need of God for help with your family? Have you given up hope because it all seems too late? Are you willing to come to Christ and ask for His help, He will come and help you!
Two people found help from God only when their fear of asking for help was replaced by faith! When they ran out of time and out of solutions they ran into God who alone could help them! Do not ever be
