This verse says it well:<\/p>\n
“Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy”<\/font><\/b> (Psalm 86:1).<\/p>\n Spiritually, morally, physically, financially, emotionally, socially (and probably a few other ally<\/i>‘s) — I am poor and needy.<\/p>\n I want God’s attentiveness. I need Him to hear me. I need Him to work wonders in my favor.<\/p>\n But if I want Him to hear me . . . .<\/p>\n “Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily”<\/font><\/b> (Psalm 86:3).<\/p>\n That’s right! I need to cry to Him daily.<\/p>\n And to cry to Him daily I need to be aware of Him every day. I need to learn to acknowledge His presence at all times.<\/p>\n Perhaps I am too busy trying to tend to my own need to think of crying out to Him.<\/p>\n If that is so, how foolish!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This verse says it well: “Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy” (Psalm 86:1).
