He cannot help until you ask.

Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 7

 Yea, for thus saith the Lord: Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off forever? For thus saith the Lord: Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement? To whom have I put thee away, or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Yea, to whom have I sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
 Wherefore, when I came, there was no man; when I called, yea, there was none to answer. O house of Israel, is my hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem, or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make their rivers a wilderness and their fish to stink because the waters are dried up, and they die because of thirst.
     The other night my husband gave me a Priesthood blessing.  I love to receive them and often ask for them because I feel like as I hear the words from the Priesthood holder, he is speaking directly from my Father in Heaven.  Often the blessings will share talents I have been given, or blessings awaiting me in my future, they also often contain counsel.  I feel so much love from my Heavenly Father when I hear them.
     In the blessing it told me that Heavenly Father wants to help me, but can't unless I ask.  Now first of all I was confused by this and then I realized I have been stressed throughout my days trying to raise 2 kids and I never ask for help, I just feel stressed all day and overwhelmed.  
     So last night I fell to my knees and I have course started out saying some things that I was thankful for and then I just let it out.  I told the Lord that I NEEDED HELP and I think I must have listed 20 needs or more before I stopped.  Tears flooded from my eyes as I shared with the Lord how much I needed Him and I felt so loved during that time that I could be so vulnerable and He wanted to help me
     The best part about this was that today I felt His help.  I got through my day and STRESS FREE.  I love Him so much.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
 For the Lord God will help me, therefore shall I not be confounded. Therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Love,
    Becky joy
