Asking for Help is NOT Weakness

I personally know many people who have problems similar to mine. There are too many people suffering with depression, anger issues, anxiety of some sort (not necessarily social anxiety like mine), Obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc. But the thing that sincerely worries me is that some people just won’t accept that they have a problem.

Accept it. Accept it now. You need help. It’s OK to ask for help. To ask for help is a sign of courage and strength. Frankly, it is unwise to do nothing.

In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the apostle Paul is speaking about the Lord.

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

I love the way Paul worded this principle. We’ve all heard the saying, “Nobody’s perfect.” But have you ever thought about why humans were meant to be this way? I feel that Paul is trying to say that we are given weakness so that we can ask the Lord for help. The Lord wants to guide us, but we have to ask for it and actively seek it. He anxiously yearns for us to turn to Him for aid. So in a way, we should be grateful for our trials and weaknesses because they are the reason that we learn to rely on the Savior and recognize His power in our lives.

After I started going to therapy, I thought to myself, “Literally everyone I know should try going to therapy at least once in their life. It’s life-changing.” But again, I repeat, most people don’t want to go to therapy to ask for help. JUST DO IT. Seriously. Once you go you’ll see why I so desperately want you to do this.

Our loving Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ do not expect you to get through health issues by yourself. They have provided you with doctors who have the knowledge to help you. Please please PLEASE accept Their divine love and open arms by seeking Their support.

“Behold, I will heal thee.” (2 Kings 20:5)
