To Pray is to Cry

---

Psalm 18:6
In my distress I called upon the LORD,
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.

The word picture for cried is: "taking that which is devouring you on the inside and joining it to an outward expression".

I attempted to write this blog back on 25 April 2019, but I just could not quite get my head around it, let alone express it in words.

Over recent weeks I have found myself living this word, as things with my work situation have unravelled there has been this growing cry building up inside of me. I spent two days with the constant desire to just burst into tears.

When that which was devouring me inside was joined to an outward expression what came out was simply deep sobbing and as I sobbed I knew this was prayer!!!
