Is it wrong to ask God for help?

[velvetsky]

Do not be afraid to ask God for help. Until recently I always felt like I was not worthy and always asked Him to give my blessings to others more in need and more deserving. Over the years I did not take my faith seriously and only attended church mainly on Easter and Christmas. About a month ago my wife was beeing harrased in our house by a ghost, demon, bad spirit (what ever you want to call it). It was to the point where she was screaming and crying. I did not believe in stuff like that till it happened to us. I prayed and even though I knew the Our Father and Hail Mary they were all jumbled in words and phrases, it was like I had forgoten them. I kept praying and they started coming to me along with other prayers I havn’t heard in years. I told God I would be a better person and how sorry I was for my sins if He would make it go away. To make things short He did make it go away. And there has not been to many days since then He hasn’t been sending me signs He is there and loves me. I will never miss church again and neither will my wife who was raised with out a religion. This is a remakable story I plan to make a website on to share with others who may have doubts. So please believe me, God is there and does listen, I am living proof !!! May God Bless You !!!

Thats amazing , thankyou so much for sharing that with all of us.

I sometimes think that it is wrong for me to ask God to please help me in my life. Its just that sometimes I actually doubt Him and I continue to sin against Him as well. So a person so inferior to Him, how can I even think of asking?

Have any of you ever felt this way? Please I need so advice, what should I do?

Is it wrong to ask God for help?

I hope not!!! Because I ask Him every day. I have no strength except what He gives me.

It does not matter that we are horrible failures and sinners.
Where else are we to start from if we wish to grow closer to Him?
God seeks our Love and our efforts. He stands before us holding forgiveness out to us. We only need repent to accept this forgiveness and be restored to Him.

I have a little prayer that I use - I goes:

Heavenly Father I am a poor and inconstant servant. I am unworthy to seek your favor, but look to your Mercy and Love as a child seeks it’s parent’s arms.
We are all God’s “troublesome” children, yet He loves us and wishes to Hold us in His arms.

Peace
James

Hi Art, sorry I’m only just replying but we had problems with getting on the internet , theres lots of different scripture, Mark 11: 23,24, Ephesians 6:10, Philippians4:6. etc. Our Blessed Mother Mary helps us too when we go to her asking to be drawn closer to her son, Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you, velvetsky. You rock! Also thank you for everyone else for your replies and for sharing your thoughts. Thank you so much, it really helped. Thank you.
