Crying Out to God

Scripture Psalms 57:2 I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.

Observation: I cry out a lot, but not always to the one that could do something about my pain. I cry out in anger, in sadness and in frustration and get caught up in the moment without considering my Lord. I’ll bout and moan and even throw a tantrum now and then, which does no good but makes things worse. It’s not until I cry out to God and ask for guidance that anything happens. When I cry out and listen, I get God’s perspective of what I am going through and if I ask, He may open my eyes to see why I’m where I’m at. If we are going to cry, we need to cry out to our Lord.

Application: I need to stop being so focused on me and to stop feeling sorry for myself. I’m not here for me and I need to stop being so arrogant to think that I am. I need to cry out to God when I get overwhelmed and need direction and after I cry out, I need to be silent so that I may hear the answer to my request. I need to remember all of the wonderful things God has already done for me and rest that He loves me and will continue to guide me if I’m obedient to what He calls of me.

Prayer: My Lord I cry out to you. Your servant is in pain and I don’t know what way to go. I feel so lost here at times and need the comfort I can only get from you. Take charge of your servant and command me that I may know your will and guide me to complete the tasks you set before me. I love you my Lord draw me close to you.
