Absalom has done his best to take his father’s throne, even his life. So David is exiled from his home and family. Overwhelmed, he cries out to God for help.
Psalm 61:2-3 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
Sometimes life overwhelms believers as well. When those times come we may think the Lord doesn’t care, but He does. We may think we have to beg for His attention. We don’t.
The Lord has already promised to hear us when we call on Him.
Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
God listens for your voice because He is your Father and you are HIs child.
