Cry Out to God

by Heidi

I was thinking about the concept of crying out to God and wondering why I don't often do it. I pray, I cry, and I even pray out loud, but to actually cry out--that's another story. I think a lot of it has to do with solitude. At our house there's almost always someone else home. I wouldn't want them to hear me. In the car I don't want to scare other drivers. It's hard to find a place where I'm alone enough and free enough to cry out. But then there are those places and times when I could, but I don't. Maybe I don't feel the need to, maybe I'm too "reserved" to--even by myself. Maybe I feel silly about it. I think it's like a tea pot. When you're boiling water the tea pot doesn't cry out until the pressure is SO built up inside of it that it has to. There's no choice. It's the same with us. When the time is right and the pressure is high enough, when we have no choice, we will cry out to God. And the glorious part of it is--He will hear us and answer!
