While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God. -Hebrews 5:7(NLT)
CRYING OUT LOUD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you call out on your Lord when you have troubles?
Do you plead him to get you out of the rubble?
While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings
He shouted out to God to be rescued from immense suffering.
God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence
He acknowledged his humility and dependence
Cry out lout to the heavenly Father; he will hear you
Confess and repent of your sins and he will make you new.

When you hear your baby cry, your first impulse is to attend to him or her. You try to find out what the baby needs and meet that as soon as you can. Our heavenly Father is the same to us. When we cry out to him for help, he runs as fast as he can to answer that plea. He doesn’t have a deaf ear to our complaints and concerns. He hears every detail of our situation. How often do Christians even cry out loud to the Lord? The book of Psalms is full of David’s crying out loud to God and pleading to be rescued.
