| “I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry” |
| —Psalm 40:1 |
When you cry out for help, whom do you hope will respond? The Psalmist answers this question from his perspective in Psalm 40:1-3:
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.
God listens with an ear tuned to our cries for help. Why does He do this? Because He loves us with an everlasting, unfailing, undying love.
When you need to cry out for help, take heart! God is listening. He will send help your way—powerful help, love-bound help, perfect overcoming help.
