Today's
scripture: Psalm 138:3
How often do you cry out? Because of the pain? Because of a broken relationship? Because of financial devastation? Because of the loss of a loved one?
Some of us cry out every day ... perhaps every minute. We cry out for reasons. We cry out for answers. We cry out in confusion.
And when we're all cried out, we sit quietly. Waiting. Wondering.
Is God even listening? Does He hear our cries? Does He even care?
In our darkest moments when we feel alone and tired, we can be sure of one thing: He is listening. He does hear our cries.
And He does answer. According to His will and in His time, He does answer.
When we believe—when we really, truly believe—that truth, we can be confident that He'll give us what we need for that moment, He'll comfort us, He'll provide for us, He'll protect us.
He'll make us "bold with strength in [our] souls."
Never be afraid to cry out to God, to bare your soul. He can take it. He'll listen with all-encompassing love. He'll hear your cries ... and He'll answer.
