“When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.”
— Psalm 86:7
When we spot trouble — crimes, fires, car accidents — we call 9 – 1 – 1 for emergency help. In the same manner, you have a hotline to heaven. God’s phone line is never busy, you never get put on hold, and you never get his voicemail. You can talk to God anytime — day or night.
If you need help, try these “Emergency Numbers”:
• When you’re in danger, call Psalm 91.
• When you’re lonely and fearful, call Psalm 23.
• When you need peace and rest, call Matthew 11:28 – 30.
• When you need courage for a task, call Joshua 1.
• If your wallet and piggy bank are empty, call Psalm 37.
• When feeling sadness or sorrow, call John 14.
• When you need forgiveness, call Psalm 51.
• If you’re worried, call Matthew 6:25 – 34.
We all need help sometimes. You can always pray, and you can go to God’s Word. God promises to meet your needs. So give God a call!
