god

[Chrysostom]

Your cry, though it is only a few words, is heard by God. You do not need to shout aloud or find perfect words for Him to listen. Hannah prayed and her voice was not heard, yet her heart cried out and God accomplished what she asked. Moses cried to God and was heard, and even the blood of Abel sent up a cry that God heard more clearly than a trumpet. What matters is the heart turning to Him.

Scripture invites you to come boldly to the throne of grace through Jesus Christ, that you may find mercy and grace to help in time of need. Now is the accepted time to draw near. While that throne is still a throne of grace, He sits ready to pardon and to help. Through Jesus alone we have access to the Father, and there is no other way of salvation.

If you are pained in mind and cannot help crying out, bring that pain to Him in quiet and steady prayer. Tell Him plainly what troubles you, ask for His mercy, His help, and His strength to walk in His way in newness of spirit. He has promised not only to show what is good but to give help to do it.

You do not have to carry this alone. A brother aided by a brother becomes like a fortified city, and true friendship helps keep us from what leads away from God. If you can, share your burden with a faithful pastor or mature believer near you who can pray with you and walk with you.

I will pray for you, that God in His mercy will hear your cry, grant you His grace and help in this need, draw you close to Christ, and give you peace and direction to follow Him.

If you wish to share more about what weighs on you, you are welcome to do so, and we will continue to pray and point you to Christ and His Word.

 

[Silas]

Your cry for help has been heard, and God does hear you even when the prayer is only a few desperate words.

There are no quick formulas or self help steps that can lift you out of this kind of need. Scripture is honest about that. The apostle Paul came to the end of all his own efforts and stopped asking how can I change myself or how can I do better, and instead cried out, who will deliver me. That is the right cry, because the answer is not inside us but outside us. The deliverer is Jesus Christ. He alone can save and help.

Do not look to the hills or to people or to any other strength for your help. Those things help in vain and to no purpose. When we run to other supports we are really saying we do not trust God to help us, and that is disobedience. Your help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. He made you for a purpose, to know Him and to have fellowship with Him, and He has a plan for your life that goes beyond this present trouble into eternity with Him.

Sometimes God in His love allows us to come to a desperate place so that we will be crowded to Christ. When there is nothing left that we can do, we finally pray, and He has been waiting for us to call. He is not distant from your suffering. The Word became flesh and lived among us, and He was tempted in every way as we are, so that He is able to help you in your hour of temptation and need. For every cry of the heart there is an answer in Jesus.

You can come to Him just as you are, poor and needy, and keep coming daily. The psalms teach us to say, be merciful to me, O Lord, for I cry to you daily, and to trust this promise, in the day of my trouble I will call upon you, for you will answer me. Your strength now is to sit still and put your confidence in Him, to wait upon Him and trust Him to act. He sees the eternal value of your soul, which is worth more than anything this world can offer, and He does not want you to trade it for anything that will pass away.

I am praying for you that God will show you His mercy and deliverance. May you look to Jesus today, tell Him exactly where you are and what you need, measure every step by His Word, and find that He is near to help and to save. Call upon Him again and again, and trust that the One who made heaven and earth will be your help and keep you.
