Sometimes we need God's help. Some situations are too much, and I believe it's okay to need God and expect the need to be supplied! My pastor would say just scream out HELP!!! and we would scream it out right there in service.
I need you now is one of my favorite gospel songs! I had the opportunity to see Smokie Norful live when this song first came out. You can feel his need for God's help! His testimony:
"I wrote that at a time when my wife [who was told she may have cancer and wouldn't be able to conceive], ...and I was seriously reaching out to God for comfort and guidance and healing. I was crying out to God and realizing my total dependence on Him, and ultimate victory through Him."
And eight years later Smokie Norful and his wife, Carla, are the parents to two boys, Tre' and Ashton, and a daughter named Ashley.
Please pause the music player below and click the link and enjoy the awesome voice of praise and great pianist that is Smokie Norful.

I couldn't listen to that song enough when I first heard it.
When I need to be replinished or going thru, I listen to Fred Hammond &RFC 1998 "Your Love", "Your Steps Are Ordered".
I feel the same way about Mary Mary. There songs have gotten me through some terrible times. I even had the chance to see them perform and meet them afterwards!
@P.S. Girl!! Fred Hammond has definitely seen me through some rough patches in my life! I will be featuring him soon as well. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! :)
@Trish
I LOVE Mary Mary They were my go to everyday gospel jams in the car.
Wow you've seen them live?! I always wanted too. They toured with Kirk Franklin one year, but I missed the concert*sad face*

LOVE smokie norful! I have to scream HELP on a daily basis!
@Daij I know what you mean. HELP!!! LOL!
it's so hard for us to realize that we need to lean on him and what is for us, is for us! i'm trying to grasp that right now!
@Adei Yess! That is so true! I need to grasp that myself!
Thanks for commenting!
I love Smokie - my fave is "I Understand." I cried to that song many a day!
And I love him as a person - we went to college together. One of the sweetest guys you'd ever want to know.
@Nerd girl! Wow!!! You went to college with him. I love it! This internet I tell you! He seemed very personable when I saw his concert. I could tell he was geniune.
