To Know Him More: Help!

Yesterday, I was feeling a bit blue from lack of sunshine.
I woke up this morning with this Beatles song on my mind.
I grew up with this song but I haven't heard it recently- I guess my heart had though!

HELP!
HELP! I NEED SOMEBODY,
HELP! NOT JUST ANYBODY,
HELP! YOU KNOW I NEED SOMEONE, HELP.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, SO MUCH YOUNGER THAN TODAY,
I NEVER NEEDED ANY BODY'S HELP IN ANY WAY.
BUT NOW THOSE DAYS ARE GONE, AND I'M NOT SO SELF ASSURED,
NOW I FIND, I'VE CHANGED MY MIND, I'VE OPENED UP THE DOORS.

HELP ME IF YOU CAN, I'M FEELING DOWN
AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING AROUND.
HELP ME GET MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND,
WON'T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME.

AND NOW MY LIFE HAS CHANGED IN OH SO MANY WAYS,
MY INDEPENDENCE SEEMS TO VANISH IN THE HAZE.
BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I FEEL SO INSECURE,
I KNOW THAT I JUST NEED YOU LIKE I'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE.

HELP ME IF YOU CAN, I'M FEELING DOWN
AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING AROUND.
HELP ME GET MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND,
WON'T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, SO MUCH YOUNGER THAN TODAY,
I NEVER NEEDED ANY BODY'S HELP IN ANY WAY.
BUT NOW THESE DAYS ARE GONE, I'M NOT SO SELF ASSURED,
NOW I FIND I'VE CHANGED MY MIND I'VE OPENED UP THE DOORS.

HELP ME IF YOU CAN, I'M FEELING DOWN
AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING ROUND.
HELP ME, GET MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND,
WON'T YOU PLEASE,
PLEASE HELP ME,
HELP ME,
HELP ME, OH.

And He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities- all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the church; and He is the beginning, the first born from the dead; so that He Himself might come to have first place in everything. For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fulness to dwell in Him and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, that is the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations; but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles, WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory.

If you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. (Col. 3:1-4)
And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, that God might be all in all. (I Cor.15:28)
For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God who is the savior of all men, especially of believers. Perscribe and teach these things. (1 Tim. 2:10-11)
And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen, and everyone his brother saying, "Know the Lord" for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest of them. For I will be mercifull to their iniquities and I will remember their sins no more. (Hebrews 8:11-12)
All the earth will worship You, and will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to your name. (Ps. 66:4)

(Rev. 1:5)
And the Spirit and the bride say, "come." And let the one who hears say, "come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes, take the water of life without cost. (Rev. 22:17)
