Writers throughout the centuries have agreed on the importance of crying out to God. William Jay shared his views on this crucial subject, using David’s prayer as an example. We may here learn much from the example of David. How would he pray? “I will cry unto thee.” Crying is a substitute for speech; and also the expression of earnestness. A child can cry long before it can articulate; and its cries as much move the parent as any eloquence of words. A person in great danger, or want, or pain, not only utters, but cries out, and often aloud, according to the pressure of his feelings. I may not be able to express my desires as some do; but, if I am deeply affected by them, and they spring from a broken heart and a contrite spirit, they shall not be despised. Practice lifting up your voice to cry out to God like the psalmist. Let your heavenly Father feel the urgency of your requests.
