Pastor John Ahern - The Cry of Faith

PSALMS 30:1-5

The Blessedness of Answered Prayer

A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David.

1 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my foes rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.

3 O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4 Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Every parent knows that there are two types of crying: one that can be ignored and one that can't.

Many times in our lives, we find ourselves in situations where we desperately need the help of God.

It is in moments such as those that our heart cries out to our Father in faith, acknowledging our desire for His divine intervention, believing and receiving the seemingly impossible, on the basis of our intimate relationship. ​
