The Most Powerful Two-Word Prayer in the Bible: “Help Me”

About this episode

Jeremy Walker discusses the significance of the two-word prayer 'Help Me' from Psalm 109, emphasizing the need for urgent and sincere prayer in times of weakness.

Jeremy Walker preaches from Psalm 109 and presses the simple, desperate petitions of verse 26—“Help me, O LORD, my God… save me according to Your mercy”—as language God gives His people for seasons when we are weak and our enemies are strong. He warns against formal, rote praying and calls the church (and the Christian at home) to recover urgent, needy prayer—turning the prayer meeting into a true “cry room,” laying hold of the God of heaven for the help He alone can give.
