What are you afraid to receive?
Why do we have such a fear of asking for help?
Do you need directions? - Nope
Do you need help carrying that heavy box? - Nope
Do you need help hanging that TV? - Nope
Do you need help with your addictions? - Nope
Do you need help in your relationships? - Nope
The most common answer to this question of why we don’t ask for help is generally always this,
“I don’t want people to think I’m weak or not capable.”
I think that is a lie we tell ourselves. I believe that it is really that we are afraid to receive.
When we receive, we have to become vulnerable. When we open ourselves up to receive, we open ourselves up to be seen, to be heard, to be known. We also leave space for people to show us grace and love us for who we are.
That is terrifying.
Because if people really knew who I was, they wouldn’t love me.
There is another lie we tell ourselves.
By asking for help we are not submitting that we are weak or incapable. Instead, we are standing in strength in our vulnerability, with open hands and an open heart, willing to receive.
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 7:8
