The LORD hears your call for help

 Ps. 40 v 1HCSB

I waited patiently for the LORD, and He turned to me and heard my cry for help.

Psalm 40 is a prayer for salvation in a time of need. In his distress the Psalmist turned to the LORD and he remembered how the LORD had helped him in the past. This is the basis on which he also now cries out to the LORD in his distress.

 Remember what the LORD has done for you. God sent His Son to become human so that He could die for your sins on the cross. Just think about it. If He was willing to do that, then would He not help you now either? Jesus Christ is the ground on which we call on the Name of the LORD.

 Look back on your life and remember how the LORD helped you in the past. He will bend down to you and listen to your cry for help.

Amen
