Scriptures About the Lord is My Helper

The Bible declares that the Lord, God, is our helper. He is there to help us in times of need. That is a promise from scripture. It is part of who God is. It is one of his defining characteristics and traits. We are God’s children, and we have the one true and only God on our side to back us up and empower us. God loves us. He is for us, not against us, and he will help when we need it and when we call out to him. He is your helper and my helper!

There are times in our lives where we face trouble, when we need direction, or when we truly can’t do things on our own. We all need help from time to time. We will need help to do some of the things that God has called us to do. Sometimes that help can come from others, but other times we need help directly from God. It’s okay to ask for help, from others and from God! God will partner with us in the things that we face, big or small.

Therefore this week I’d like to share some scriptures to inform you and build your confidence in the fact that the Lord is your helper!

Take Some Practical Steps to Use These Scriptures About the Lord is My Helper:

• First, read over the verses about the Lord is on my helper to get encouraged and build your confidence in this area.

• Second, you can also look up even more verses relevant to your situation searching for phrases like God is my refuge, my protector, my source, my rock, my shield, my fortress, my strength, my healer, etc. (See this list of characteristics of God.)

• Then, print this list of verses for future reference that you can use when you need to be reminded that God is your helper and will be there for you to help in times of need.

• Use one (or more of these verses) as a prayer and/or as a reminder to God of his promise to help you.

I always find scripture to be helpful because it’s a promise from God that I can stand on and/or His own word that I can pray directly back to him.

• Finally, pick one or two verses to memorize or write down on an index card or post it note and place it where you can see it as a reminder and a comfort that God is your helper.

For example put them on the bathroom mirror, the nightstand, on doors, over light switches, on cabinet doors, on your car console, etc.
