Consider that the psalmist doesn't cry with his whole heart to a family member, the pastor, a preacher, a neighbor, a friend or a brother or sister in Christ, but he writes, "I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord." We have become a society who loves to run from one place to another with the story of every detail of our lives. We seem to enjoy the attention. I am afraid this is bleeding into the body of Christ. When was the last time we came to God before anyone else with that which is troubling us? When was the last time we got ourselves in the prayer closet and called upon God with a cry that was filled with intensity and anticipation of what the King of kings would do? It is time to follow in the steps of the psalmist, "I Cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord."
