tough questions from kids - why should we go to God for help?

Asking why we should go to God for help is like asking, "why should I go to the gas station for gas?" we need God because He is the one who gives us life, for one who makes us able to walk; talk and move. He is the one who gives us knowledge and the one who give us all we need. In a sense, God is the only one who can help us.

March in A Night

I know you're new
O, so new
to me
to you
New, in a way
of Ah
Of wonderment
to me
to you
A babe you call
A spark for a new fire
A different kind of heart beat
A different taste
generosity in trust
a respect, understood
To be new
Oh, forgiveness!
I watch the tress turn dark
with night
I fade with
lightness
guiding my way
in hope
in love
in thought of you...
I have never felt so loved
cared for
respected as me
So, new
Full of wonderment
excitement
of whole body, mind and soul
Love, so new
Does it hurt?
Does it feel good?
YES...
To you, to you
in time I travel..sometimes
all the time
in time to heal
from past, mistrust
hatred of you.
hated me too!
Let's just be here...now
smell..open arms...no past
Fly, Fly, fly, Freedom!
I feel now, so different...feel good
let freedom stay,
Breath, smell
Forgive, to stay
To you
To me...O, so new

Hymn from the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton

Guide me, O Thou great Redeemer,

pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but thou art mighty

hold me with they powerful hand;

Bread of heaven

feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain

whence the healing stream doth flow;

let the fiery cloudy pillar

lead me all my journey through:

strong Deliverer,

be thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,

bid my anxious fears subside,

Death of death, and hell's destruction,

land me safe on Canaan's side:

songs of praises

I will ever give to thee.

~William Williams
