“In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: And He did hear my voice out of His temple, And my cry did enter into His ears.”2 Samuel 22:7 KJV. One of the most wonderful things about having a personal relationship with God is, He hears our cries and responds as we need. In this passage David is reflecting upon a time when his life was under threat. A powerful enemy had come against him and he had nowhere else to look except God. And certainly he was in great distress. But what a blessing, that in his great need he could cry out to God. In our lives there will be many times that we are in distress. It may be the distress of sorrow or suffering. It may be some great temptation. It may not be a physical enemy, but we know the enemy of souls is coming against us. We feel our own weakness. We know that in ourselves we are not sufficient. But let us learn from David and know that our God still hears the cries of His children. Our merciful Lord is listening to every prayer that we make. And let us be sure, He will respond as we need.
