The first time I heard Connor Price’s “I Need Help,” it caught me off guard. The beat pulled me in, but it was the honesty that stayed with me. That quiet confession—feeling overwhelmed, needing help—felt familiar. Maybe you’ve been there too.
It reminded me that asking for help isn’t a weakness. It’s courage.
Where Does Real Help Come From?
Towards the end of his last verse, Connor says,
All along had it right next to my bed
Open the book with my son and I read
In the hopes that one day that he doesn’t feel shame when he says..
That line hit me. Because sometimes, the help we need isn’t far away.
Real help starts with the B.I.B.L.E.= Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
Psalms 121:1-2 NKJV
Whether through prayer, friendships, mentors, music, or a moment of honesty with God, help comes when we stop relying on ourselves and start leaning on the One who made us.
Ways to Reach Out
Admitting we need help can feel awkward. Vulnerable. Maybe even scary. But once we say it out loud–whether to God, a trusted friend, or just in the quiet of our own heart–the pressure starts to lift.
God already knows what’s going on. He sees us clearly, even when we feel invisible. And He doesn’t flinch. He doesn’t fail.
A Gentle Reminder
Needing help isn’t a flaw. It’s part of being human.
Real strength isn’t about pushing through alone. It’s about knowing when it’s time to share the load. We weren’t meant to carry everything by ourselves.
So if you’re feeling the weight today, know this: you’re not alone. We’re in this together. And help is closer than you think.
