My whole life is His alone.”9 So the difference between “Lord, help me” and “Lord, enable me” is a matter of partial trust in our self-effort versus total reliance on Christ. When I emphasize this distinction, I am talking about heart attitude, not the words we use. God knows our hearts. If we say or think, “Lord, help me,” but our attitude is one of total dependence, God certainly knows what we mean.
