Help!

Asking for help seems impossible. I suppose our human mind figures that we can just do everything on our own. Personally this is something that I have a hard time with. I feel that even when I am in the hardest of times, that I can just figure it out on my own. ]

There have been times though when my pride had to be humbled and I had to just ask for help. One of the more recent times, I was driving home and my breaks went strait to the floor. I had been procrastinating getting them fixed, and I was about to face the consequences. I only had about $300 in my bank account, and knew I was not going to be paid anytime soon. I went with out a car for a couple of days... I had to call off work a few times as well. That ment that on top of buying new breaks, I would be out of work. I decided that I would brave the drive,( because I knew that I could not afford a tow truck) to the nearest break place. I went in, and let them know what happend, and got lectured for driving my car without breaks. They originally said that it would cost me about $300 so I had just enough! But as time went on more and more problems with my breaks came up. I needed to replace a lot of things. The total cost by the end was $600 and I just did not have it. I prayed, and asked what I should do because my parents did not have the money to help, at least thats what I felt. But I knew that that was my only option. So as much as I wanted to do it on my own, I knew I had to make that call and ask for help.

I learned two lessons that day. One asking for help is something that we should not be ashamed to do. Sometimes we get ourselfs in situations where we just need someone to give us a hand. Second I learned not to procrastinate things that are important.

Just like needing help in life, we also need to be able to ask for help spiritually. God is there for us, and he  has given us the resources we need in order to survive and be helped spiritually. We can pray to Him, and he will hear our prayers. We also need to ask for forgiveness, and not procrastinate the day of our repentance. While we are here on earth, we are in a probationary state before we get to be judged. In Helamen 13:38 it speaks of this.

38 But behold, your ^adays of probation are past; ye have ^bprocrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for ^chappiness in doing iniquity, which thing is ^dcontrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.

When I stand before God and his Son Jesus Christ, I want to know that I have not procrastinated and that I have done all that I can to better follow my savior.
