Revival: Asking God For Help (3)

Listen Later

Episode Summary:
In today’s episode, Tola continues exploring the theme of Revival, focusing on the power of crying out to God for help. Drawing from Psalm 40:1-2, she unpacks what it means to cry out earnestly to God, emphasizing the importance of letting go of pride, shame, and fear to fully depend on Him. Tola encourages listeners to embrace vulnerability in their relationship with God, reminding them that their cries are heard and responded to by a loving Father who inclines toward His children.

Key Takeaways:

  • God’s Inclination Toward Us:

    • Psalm 40:1 shows that when we cry out, God leans favorably toward us, hearing our cry and responding with compassion.
    • To “incline” means to lean toward, to show attention, and to favor—this is how God responds when we ask for help.

    • The Power of Crying Out:

      • Crying out is a deliberate act of increasing the “pitch” of our request, symbolizing urgency and dependence.
      • Just as a baby’s cry captures attention, our cry to God draws His loving response.

      • Letting Go of Barriers to Asking for Help:

        • Don’t let pride, shame, or fear prevent you from crying out to God.
        • Crying out is not a sign of weakness; it’s a necessary step toward revival and restoration.

          • Reflection Questions:

          1. Are you holding back from asking God for help because of pride or fear?
          2. What specific area of your life needs you to cry out to God today?

            3. Practical Application:

            • Meditate on Psalm 40:1-2 and reflect on God’s promise to incline toward you and hear your cry.
            • Take time to pray earnestly, pouring out your heart to God and asking for His help in the areas where you need revival.
            • Embrace the vulnerability of crying out, knowing it is met with God’s love and compassion.

              • Closing Encouragement:
              Your cries are not ignored—they are heard by a God who leans in with favor and compassion. Don’t let pride or shame hold you back. Cry out to Him today. Revival begins when we acknowledge our need for Him and boldly ask for help.
