Lord, I Need Your Help!
By Yolanda Hanspard
The Watts family are dealing with personal struggles that are affecting their household. Brady Watts, the husband and dad, lost his job, so Melanie, his wife, decides it is time for her to get her career going and will be the breadwinner if she has to. She has to travel frequently with her entertainment job, so she leaves her children, Jackson and Lorraine, behind with their dad and disabled grandmother.
Jackson is having a hard time in school, so he hides behind his little bullying antics until he is called out by one of his victims. In the meantime, Lorraine is chatting online with her new internet friends. She plans to hook up and meet with them and faces some serious trouble in the process.
In a time of crisis, the family finds themselves distant from God, the church, each other, and themselves, until they realize the help they need is not just from their family, but only God can deliver them. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in the time of trouble (Psalms 46:1). This is a story for the entire family, and readers will walk away understanding the power of prayer and family.
