"But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears.Then the earth quaked and trembled; the foundations of the mountains shook; they quaked because of his anger. Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet. Mounted on a mighty angel, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.
Psalm18:6-10
When you read this psalm, you are struck by fact that God moves heaven and earth to come to your aid when you cry to Him for help. At your heartfelt plea, your Lord thunders from heavens your scatters your enemies. Verses sixteen, seventeen, and nineteen then add, " add, "He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued my powerful enemy. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me."
Don't ever think that when you pray for God's support, He remains uncaring or unfeeling about your plea. God is not off somewhere on s mountaintop at an arm's length from your cry. When you pray for help, He foes not lean over the wall of His ivory tower to tell you to beg louder.
God is attentive to your needs as a caring father is to his dearest son. When you send out distress call to the Lord. He parts the heavens to come to your rescue. And if you need to be reminded, read Psalm 18 in its entirely.
No one who let's out a genuine cry of distress in thinking about manipulating God. Impossible! A heartfelt plea for help carries with it no desire to control the way the Lord deals with you. Rather, such a prayers implies that you've cast yourself on the Lord's mercy, with no hint of impure motive. When you pray like that, God immediately recognizes the sincerity of your heart and rushes to your aid.
