My dear brothers and sisters, of FaithLine: “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I SHALL RESCUE YOU, and you will honor Me.” (Psa. 50:15)
Crying out to God is an act of desperation and total concentration. It is an enthusiastic expression of faith in God and trust in His goodness and power to act on our behalf. Crying out to God expresses the following traits:
Genuine humility
It is hard for us to admit it when we cannot solve a problem or overcome an obstacle, but it happens and that is when we need God’s help. He delights in a broken and contrite heart that humbly seeks Him. “He does not forget the cry of the distressed.” (Psa. 9:12).
Personal helplessness
We may tend to believe that we need God’s help with only the really hard things? Remember, Jesus said, “Without me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).
Unconditional surrender
When a situation becomes so desperate that only God can deliver us, a cry represents total, unconditional surrender. We can’t bargain with God—we must leave our life in His hands. “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Psa. 66:18).
CALL OUT TO GOD, THEN LISTEN…
