Our Lord is as much interested in the cry of a poor man (the needy, the helpless, the one desperate for Him, the one sorrowful over their sin) as much as He is interested in the cry of a righteous man. The Lord is nigh to those of a contrite heart and those who hunger for His righteousness.

"This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles." - Psalm 34:6
