"" Samuel CRIED TO THE LORD for Israel and the Lord answered him."" (1 Samuel 7:9)
All through the Bible we see God's people coming to points of desperation. And then they cry out.
GOD ALWAYS HEARS
It is an undeniable reality that God responds to the cry of His children just as you would hear the cry of yours. A mom or dad can be 100 yards away in a park, but their child's cry sounds like it is right next to them. And, they go running to meet the need. What parent would not respond to the despairing cry of their children?
IT’S TIME
If ever there was a moment in America when we needed to cry out, it is now.
God will hear and answer. He really will, just as He has done throughout history and just as He has promised. But there are prerequisites that precede a cry.
Are you crying out? Daily, incessantly, unwavering in your faith? If not, why not? And if not now, when?

I have known many people who have had great joy and power in the midst of great suffering. It is humbling that the slightest inconveniences deter many of us from following God. We have not gotten to the bottom—settled the issue. Most often, we live for our comfort, reputation, or gain. When any of those goals are touched, we are troubled and discontent.

The repentant who finds God gains everything. “He who has God and everything else,” said C.S. Lewis, “has no more than he who has God alone.”

Repentance helps us. Repentance heals us. Repentance restores us and refreshes us. And these are all the outcomes a loving Father desires for His children.
