My Babys' Cry

We have a very cute baby sister in my family. She's five months old today.

My baby😍

Whenever she's crying, we try all we can to make her stop crying. We assume she is hungry so we feed her. If she doesn't stop, we assume her clothing isn't right, "Maybe she's too hot" we say. We change or remove her clothes to make her stop crying. If she doesn't stop, we assume her diaper is wet so we change it. If she keeps crying, we assume she wants to sleep so, we back her or do other things to make her stop crying.

In summary, we keep assuming and doing a lot of stuffs to make her stop crying. Whenever we get the right reason why she's crying, we make a sign of relief and say "Oh! all she wanted was food" or "Oh! her diaper is dirty", or "Oh! her gum is aching" or "She wants to sleep", etc.

Whatever is was or is, we do not rest until we find it out and give solutions which would in turn make her stop crying.

This experience have made me think about God. If we, (earthly caretakers) could be worried cause our baby is crying, how much more God. If we (Parents and Guardians) always want to do whatever it takes to make our baby stop crying, how much more God.

No wonder Matthew 9:7-11 says "Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"

I mean, if we earthy folks can care for our little ones this much, how much more God. Now, the beautiful thing about God is that He doesn't need to try so many things or assume like the earthy parents do cause He is all knowing. He would address the cause of your tears in an instant. 

All you and I just need do is cry out to Him. Isn't that beautiful?

Psalm 145 verse 19b says  He will hear our cry and save us.

All we need do is call out to God, cry out to Him and see Him save us.

I know there are times we feel we can't pray, and we feel so overwhelmed. Our heart is troubled, there's a lot to take in and we just want to leave everything and run. 

Instead of bottling up all your emotions, why not cry out to God. He is our only sure help. Even when you don't have the words, cry out to him. He knows and He hears. That is why Paul says the Spirit intercedes for us through wordless groans. 

I pray that God helps us to always cry to Him and not seek help anywhere else. And may all our secret cries and secret prayers be heard. 

Amen
