FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 2011 - David Wilkerson IT WAS IN THE DEPTHS THAT DAVIDS PRAYING BECAME INTENSE
In desperation, David cried out, Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications (Psalm 130:2). This sounds to me like the plea of a dying man. David obviously wasnt just uttering thought prayers. He was face down on the groundbroken, contrite, pleading with God from the very depths of his heart, O holy God Jehovah, you must hear my cry! I cant go on any longer. My sin is ever before me, and Im sinking with fear and dread. Please, God, have mercy on me.
David knew his soul needed a release. And he turned to God alone to find that release. He concluded, Im in such a dire condition, only the Lord can help me now. I cant rely on counselors, friends, even family. My only hope is in prayer. So Im going to cry out night and day until God hears my plea!
Have you gotten as desperate as David was? Have you shut yourself in with the Lord, falling on your face and crying out to him? Dull, quiet, lazy praying wont accomplish anything. If youre not unburdening your soul to God, you dont really want healingyou want out! David testified, I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart
and my groaning is not hid from thee (Psalm 38:8-9).
You have to cry out loudly, as David did, Lord, hear my plea! Im not letting go of you until you answer! |
