Help from Unwilling Helper!: Favour to get Help from Unwilling Helper!

By Daramola Joel Odunayo

"As we read through the pages of the Bible, we see countless examples of individuals who turned to God for help in times of need. One such example can be found in the story of the Widow of Zarephath, found in 1 Kings 17. This poor widow was struggling to survive during a time of severe famine, and yet, despite her own desperate circumstances, she chose to extend a hand of kindness to the prophet Elijah by offering him food and shelter.

But what if we find ourselves in need of help, and the person we turn to for assistance is unwilling to lend a hand? How can we continue to trust in God and have faith that He will provide for us in these difficult situations?

One key aspect to remember is that, as believers, we are called to be obedient to God and to trust in His plan for our lives, even when it feels like everything else is against us. This means that we should continue to seek out ways to serve and help others, even if it seems like our efforts are not being reciprocated. Ultimately, it is through this obedience and trust in God that we will find the strength and support we need to endure any challenges that come our way."

Remember that God is sovereign and in control. Even if the person we are seeking help from is unwilling to assist us, we can trust that God is working behind the scenes to bring about His will and purpose for our lives. Psalm 46:10 reminds us that "He says, 'Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'" When we trust in God's sovereignty, we can find peace and rest in the midst of any situation, knowing that He is ultimately in charge.

Seek out other sources of help and support. While it may be disappointing if someone we turn to for assistance is unwilling to help, we should not let that discourage us from seeking out other sources of support. This could include seeking out the help of friends and family, joining a support group, or even seeking the guidance of a pastor or spiritual mentor.

Pray for the person who is unwilling to help. It can be easy to become bitter or resentful towards someone who refuses to assist us, but instead of allowing negative feelings to take hold, we can pray for that person. Pray for their heart to be softened and for them to experience the love and grace of God. Praying for others can also help us to let go of our own feelings of anger or hurt, and to focus on loving and serving others as Christ has loved us.

Ultimately, while it can be difficult to receive help from an unwilling helper, we can trust that God is always with us and will provide for us in ways that we may not expect. By seeking out other sources of support, praying for those who are unwilling to help, and trusting in God's sovereignty, we can find strength and encouragement to face any challenge that comes our way.
