DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the importance of full reliance on God,
particularly for those in need. He encourages the needy to cry out to
God directly rather than seeking help from friends, as true assistance
comes from the Lord. Spurgeon reassures that God hears the cries of the
helpless and will provide for both temporal and spiritual needs. He
urges listeners to approach God as beggars, relying solely on His grace
and mercy. Ultimately, Spurgeon reminds us that God has never failed and
will not fail those who trust in Him.

For he shall deliver the needy when he lieth; the poor also, and him
that hath no helper. (Psalm 72:12)

The needy cries; what else can he do? His cry is heard of God; what else
need he do? Let the needy reader take to crying at once, for this will
be his wisdom. Do not cry in the ears of friends, for even if they can
help you it is only because the Lord enables them. The nearest way is to
go straight to God and let your cry come up before Him. Straightforward
makes the best runner: run to the Lord and not to secondary causes.

"Alas!" you cry, "I have no friend or helper." So much the better; you
can rely upon God in both capacities - as without supplies and without
helpers. Make your double need your double plea. Even for temporal
mercies you may wait upon God, for He careth for His children in these
temporary concerns. As for spiritual necessities, which are the heaviest
of all, the Lord will hear your cry and will deliver you and supply you.

O poor friend, try your rich God. O helpless one, lean on His help. He
has never failed me, and I am sure He will never fail you. Come as a
beggar, and God will not refuse you help. Come with no plea but His
grace. Jesus is King; will He let you perish of wants What! Did you
forget this'
