Cries and prayers

"Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth." Psalm 54:2

You can read: Psalm 54
            God is always present to hear us when we call.  We can always sing to God a song of praise, or utter a desperate cry for help when things aren't going so well.  The thing is:  God is always there to help us and to be with us.
            The sad fact is that we almost often put God as the line of defense, the last hope when we have tried everything and yet still fail. Those who have put their faith and trust in God know otherwise.  When troubled times come, God is there;  when good times are upon us, God is also there.  When enemies surround us, God is there.  We can always turn to God and plead with Him for our requests and also for the requests of others.
            Like the Psalmist, we cry out to God, and He hears our prayers.
