Cry Out To The Lord

 Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land Into the house of the Lord your God, And cry out to the Lord - Joel 1:14. 

                 God hears us as we cry out to Him. In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears - Psalm 18:6. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them - Psalm 145:19. He hears the cry of righteous and humble. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles - Psalm 34:17. He does not forget the cry of the humble - Psalm 9:12. 

            God heard the cry of Israelites when they cried out in affliction. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged - Exodus 2:23-25. You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And heard their cry by the Red Sea - Nehemiah 9:9. When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me - Psalm 56:9. 

             Let us cry out to God who hears us. I cried out to God with my voice - To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me - Psalm 77:1. Their heart cried out to the Lord, “O wall of the daughter of Zion, Let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no relief; Give your eyes no rest.”  Arise, cry out in the night, At the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him - Lamentations 2:18.19.

                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank you for hearing us as we cry out. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
