The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave
came over me; I
was overcome by distress and sorrow. Then I called on the name
of the Lord: “Lord, save me!” Psalm 116:3-4
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that when
we have reached the end of our ropes we can always call on our King. Sometimes
the most heartfelt prayers are pleas from death’s door and usually consist of
three words, ‘Lord, save me’. Peter as he was sinking into the raging sea cried
those three words and Jesus immediately grabbed on to him. How many times have
you and I cried out those three words?
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that we do
not have to wait until we are in dire straits to call on our King. King Jesus
longs to hear from us all times. In times of sorrow and distress, depression
and anxieties, physical and mental anguish he tells us to cast all our cares on
him. He wants to give us rest when our burdens seem too much to bear.
Let
us remember that our King has his ears turned towards us at all times
