Scripture:
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.”
— Psalm 34:17 (NKJV)
Points:
- God hears the cries of His people — always.
- Crying out is an act of trust, not failure.
- Deliverance is part of His nature — He rescues.
- Troubles are not signs of absence but places of His power.
- His response is personal, timely, and true.
Poem: He Hears the Cry
The words came out in broken tones.
No polish, rhythm, calm, or plan.
But still You heard the smallest cry.
You did not wait for perfect speech.
You answered in the messy sound.
You are not deaf to trembling hearts.
You do not miss the tear-stained call.
You bend to hear what others miss.
You act where silence used to live.
You come before the echo fades.
You do not just observe the pain.
You rescue, lift, and call me out.
You find me in the darkest cell.
You walk me out through shattered walls.
You never leave the job undone.
The cry becomes a song again.
The fear becomes a fading shade.
The voice once weak begins to praise.
The hands once limp begin to lift.
The soul once faint begins to burn.
Today I cry and know You hear.
Not just the loud, but also faint.
You come to me in all my need.
You bring me out, you lead me on.
You are the God who answers still.
Prayer:
Lord, I cry out to You today. Hear me and deliver me from the troubles I face. Thank You for always listening and coming near when I call. Amen.
