Call for help

They cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. (Psalm 107:19)

A farmer. . .told [his son] to throw all the large stones he could find [in the field] into a nearby ditch. . . . [Finally] the son called out, "Dad, there's one rock here I can't move even though I've tried my hardest." "No, son," replied the father, "you haven't tried your hardest until you've called out to me for help.". . . The father then came alongside the boy and added his strength. Together, they moved the stubborn rock with ease. . . . .

Lovingly and patiently our heavenly Father reminds us that we must learn to depend on Him, and that we haven't tried our hardest until we've called on Him for help.
