"Oh 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 to for help? When you are groaning and hurting and in trouble or pain, who do you want to listen to your cry? Is it a parent, sibling, or friend? Is it someone in authority over you at the time? Will they listen to you, and more importantly, can they answer or solve your problem? We want someone to consider our sighing and groaning and hear our prayers, but, can that someone pay attention and be able to answer us? Sometimes there is no one to hear our prayers. Sometimes no one listens to us. In some cases, people may be happy that we are having a problem. Your family, or boss, or the government may not listen to your cries and prayers or listen when you groan and sigh. They may be too busy to listen. They may be impotent to help you at all.
The One Truth Today tells us who to cry out to and who pray to! There is only one who will always hear us as we pray. There is only one you can absolutely count on to pay attention to your groaning and sighing. Their is only one who actually hears the sound of our cries and knows us by name and can then answer our prayers! This scripture confirms that our King and our God hears us and pays attention to us and can then answer us. As believer's we count on the Lord to do this and that is why we should pray to NO ONE BUT YOU! God is listening right now and we can talk to Him at any time and for any reason. He is the answer to all questions!
The fact is that the Lord loves us and cares so much that He considers our prayers and cries. That is in stark contrast to the world. Most of the time, people just do not listen to us. They rarely understand what we are going though or what our pain is. The most important thing to understand is that people may not have the answers to any question or any problem, but God always does! We should always consider who we ask for help and who we cry out to and groan to. Can they solve our problem or answer our prayers? Sometimes a parent can help, sometimes a doctor or scientist can help, but there is only one place you can go to where there is always help and the answer to your prayers can always be met! Oh 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!
