Now this song isn’t from a musical, but it is an important part of our journey in music. It voices one of God’s promises to us. When we are struggling with part of our lives for whatever reason He is there for us. He tells us ask and it shall be given.
“When you feel that you can’t go on, when all of your hope is gone, darling reach out, reach out for me girl.” And “I’ll be there to love and comfort you.”
OK, the song is a man singing to his love, but it mirrors our relationship with God just the same. God says that when we are in trouble all we have to do is reach out for him. He will give us comfort through any adversity, and make things better for us in his own way and in his own time. All you have to do is ask.
Perhaps you feel awkward talking to a being that you can’t see and don’t really know where he is, even if you know he exists somewhere. You can always bring your problem to the Prayer Ministry team on a Sunday morning after the service. They will pray for you and with you if you wish. It is quite confidential and personal, nothing ever goes beyond those that pray for you. If you wish they will try to arrange prayer with you at a time and place more private and convenient to you.
However, try talking to God as if he was there in the room with you, because though you can’t see him, he is there in spirit. And He listens.
“So if you’re lost and about to give up, because your best just ain’t good enough. Come on, reach out, reach out for me. I’ll be there, to love and comfort you. I’ll be there, to always see you through.”
