When God Hears Our Cry
Revival can only happen when God hears our cry. If He turns His face from us—that’s a scary thought. But this people felt it, and Jesus felt it too. Sometimes, when everything fails, when nothing works at all, we feel that same desperation.
I was listening to “Hear My Cry”—by Fred Hammond (Inner Court), and also by the Motor City Mass Choir—and I completely understood Psalm 61.
For revival to happen, God has to hear our cry. Thank God Jesus intercedes for us—but that means one has to accept the truth of God’s Word; else it’s a waste of time. There’s a verse that says:
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)
It’s not just about crying; it’s about humbling ourselves, turning from sin, and accepting God’s truth. The cry is essential, but it must come from a heart that is willing to receive God, to change, to obey. Otherwise, it’s just noise.
Sometimes, when life fails and everything seems lost, Psalm 61 becomes more than words—it becomes a mirror of your soul, a song that says, “I see you. I hear you. You are not alone.” And that is where healing begins.
