Help That Does Not Sleep

Scripture: Psalm 121:3–4

Song: My Help – Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir 

There is a kind of help that shows up only when it is convenient, and then, there is the help Psalm 121 reveals—help that does not sleep.

This is not only about God rescuing you in an emergency. It is about God keeping you, steadying your steps, guarding what concerns you, and watching over you in ways you may never notice. The psalmist says, “He will not suffer thy foot to be moved.” That means God is often helping you even before you realize you need help.

The comfort here is not just that God is always watching, but that He is always available. You do not have to wait for the right words, the right moment, or the right strength to reach out. The Helper who does not sleep is always near, ready to be called upon, early in the morning, in the middle of the day, or in the quiet of the night.

Asking God for help does not mean you are weak. It means you are aware and you recognize that you were never meant to walk this year alone. The more you make room for God through simple, honest prayers, the more you become conscious of His steady presence.

So, as this year unfolds, don’t carry everything in silence. Speak to the Helper who is already awake. Call on the One who never loses focus. Rest in the truth that the God who keeps you is always within reach.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for being my ever-present Helper. I ask for Your help today and throughout this year. Keep me and guide me.
