If I could just reach a little farther Stretching as much as I can I see that hand reaching toward me I feel myself falling away Down I go Save me! Just like that, I am grabbed He pulls me up I am rescued I am warm and wrapped in peace One cry to Him One catch when I was falling away I am okay now He is with me He holds me and whispers to me I have been saved • Emily Acker

• No matter how hard we try, none of us can save ourselves (Ephesians 2:1-9). But God is so near, ready to save us as soon as we cry out to Him. Through Jesus’s death and resurrection, God made a way for us to be forgiven and live with Him forever. If we’ve put our trust in Jesus, we are held securely in God’s love. Have you put your trust in Jesus? If not, what questions do you have? Who is a trusted Christian in your life you could talk to about these things? (You can also find more information on our "Know Jesus" page.)

• God doesn’t just want to save us from sin and death; He also wants to help us whenever we are in trouble. What hard things are going on in your life right now? Are you ever hesitant to cry out to God for help?

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved...For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:9, 13 (NLT)
