Psalm 25:8-9
“Good and upright is the Lord.  Therefore, He instructs sinners in His way”.
The prompt to ask God for help is more than just me recognizing that I need help.  It’s the Holy Spirit setting me up to SUCCEED.  It’s an opportunity to OBEY. 
My journey in this walk with Jesus isn’t so much about that day years ago where I recognized my need for a Him as my Savior.  It’s not about the moment PASSED. It’s about the NOW moment and how I respond to the help my Helper is prompting me to ask for.

When I recognize the prompt to ask for God’s help I am faced with a choice to ask and receive that help which I know will result in successful obedience for His better plan for me or ignore the prompt, refuse to acknowledge my need for help and regret later, failing again.
I can either harden my heart or humble my heart. One leads to failure the other to freedom.
