Cry
Lord
God knows.... |
“Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my
heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I” (Psalm 61:1-2)
Amen.
God is awesome and loving. But he loves when we keep
things real with him and ourselves. Have you ever done something for someone,
trusting them and then they let you down? How does it make you feel? You can
sometimes get to the point where you want to tell them off. Yes or No! Yet, you
might just end some or all communication with them because you hope they won’t
cross your path. Now, let’s think about how God feels when we stop trusting in
him and disobey his rules. I am sure that he sometimes want to tell us off, but
rather he humbly sit and wait for us to come before his throne, asking for
forgiveness, which he ALWAYS gives. There are times we sometimes ask God, for
something and he delays it. Yet we can become very frustrated and inpatient. We
may get upset with God and keep asking many “why” questions and sometimes we
talk about the matter over and over until we are frustrated. But God said to
wait on him, for our timing is not his and his timing is not ours. I have come
to learn it is in those moments of frustration we must when learn to speak with
God. You have to tell him how you feel, in so much word, letting him have the
emotions that are built up inside of your heart. Soon after, you will realize
you are feeling much better, because God has heard your cry. Learn to keep it
real with God. This means that you will speak and can speak to him about
everything and anything that is on your mind. Not just hiding your true feeling
when you pray, but, letting it all out.
The Bible tells us there is nothing we can hide from
God. So why even play the fool, going before him, like all is well and you are
not! The devil is a liar, in Jesus name. When you go, go as though somebody
just hurt you and you need justice NOW. To receive healing and to see the hands
of God move in your life, you have to be aggressive and cry even louder. You
have to get the attention of God. Letting him know, even though others are
calling, you will not stop until he answers! Listen none of us is perfect. We
all have to go through something. Without a problem there is no miracle. But
when your hope is in the Lord you are sure that he will bring you out. Despite
your feelings and what you are feeling let your hope be in the Lord. Tell him
like it is, you need him and you have no intention of leaving his presence
despite your current struggles. It’s not always easy. I too struggle. But when
I can’t take it anymore, believe me; I will stay in prayer all day and night if
I have to get God’s attention. Just be encouraged and know God has heard you.
Don’t give in or give up. Be blessed.
