There are two errors we often make when we consider asking Jesus for help. We either feel confident that we can ask Him for help because we’ve been “good,” or we feel hesitant to ask Him for help because we’ve been “bad.” Both of those ideas twist God’s kingdom into a meritocracy in which we submit our requests (or not) based on our deeds. The truth is, we don’t deserve God’s help. But because of what Jesus did on the cross, we can have it as a gift on the basis of His grace, not our goodness. Trust in Him and confidently ask for His help today knowing this… It’s not what you do for Him that is worthy of His help; it’s what Jesus has done for you.
