God wants us to depend on Him and not rely on ourselves. Micah 7:7 “ But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior my God will hear me.” God Says You Can Depend On Me Jeremiah 33:3 “ Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” Isaiah 65:24 “ Before they call I will answer while they are still speaking I will hear.” I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.” Give ear and come to me listen, that you may live. Isaiah 55:1, 3 “ Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. But I the LORD will answer them I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.” Isaiah 41:17 “ The poor and needy search for water, but there is none their tongues are parched with thirst. The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.” He fulfills the desires of those who fear him he hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145:18-20 “ The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” He will call on me, and I will answer him I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. Psalm 91:14-16 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. Psalm 50:15 “ and call on me in the day of trouble I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” He loves you! Listen to what God says for those who are in desperate situations and what He promises when they call upon Him: God is this true source and He is more reliable than any human father or mother. There is something special about having someone there for you. What good father would not want his children to turn to him when they need help? Naturally, a father loves it when his children come to him to seek help. God actually desires that we be utterly dependent upon Him and that we are in desperate need of His help. What can we do when our backs are against the wall and we have no where to turn and we are in serious trouble? And with turmoil going on in the world people are becoming desperate even the people of God. There are severe droughts, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, and tornadoes. Families are losing their homes due to failed mortgages. The unemployment rate is soaring, the stock market is highly volatile, and famine is spreading worldwide. Others are underemployed and are just barely making it. Many people have lost jobs and can’t find one. These are sobering times that we live in today.

What can we do when we are in desperate situations? Can we call on God? Can we depend on God? Can we trust in God?

God i need you
