Cry Out to God
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And I remember being at a banquet to receive an award, but before the presentation began, I started getting sweats. That’s a signal that my body is in pain. I get clammy; my heart rate goes up. We hurried to the restroom to adjust my body and met a lady who asked if she could pray for me. I explained I was getting “sweats,” so she prayed right then for my body to cool off. But during her prayer I thought, man, the problem isn’t my temperature, it’s pain. But a few minutes later when I wheeled on stage, I noticed the sweats were gone. What a lesson! Psalm 34 says, “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them….” You see, God heard her cry even though she prayed without understanding. The point is, God knew and He answered! So if you’re wondering how to pray, remember, God knows all the facts, and all you have to do is cry out!
