PSALM 5:1-2
"O Lord, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to NO ONE BUT YOU!
Who do you cry out and groan to? Is it a parent, sibling, friend or someone in authority over you? When you cry for help, is anyone listening to you? We so want someone to give an ear to our words and consider our sighing and groaning, especially when we are crying out. The problem is that they may not be listening. In fact, in some cases, they may even be happy about our having a problem. The government does not listen to our cries, our boss may not hear us when we groan and sigh for changes or consideration, and our parents and children are often too busy to listen.
So, who should we cry out to and pray to? Who will hear us as we pray, and pay attention to our groaning and sighing? Who will actually give us an ear and consider our meditations? Who actually hears the sound of our cry? This scripture reconfirms that it is our King and our God. As believers, we can count on the fact that the Lord listens, hears, and considers our words and our meditations. He is considerate of our sighs and groans and has compassion on us. He is listening, so go ahead and talk to Him any time!
The fact that the Lord loves us and cares enough to consider our words and meditations is in stark contrast to the world. Most of the time people just do not listen to us and rarely understand what we are trying to convey. Even more important is the fact that they do not have the answers to our questions, nor solutions to our problems. So we should carefully consider who we cry out to and who we make requests or prayers to. If you know your bible then you know who to pray to. Lord, NO ONE BUT YOU!
