What else can you do to effect change at this eleventh-hour of the year? The days are rolling by and the year is almost gone, with your expectations yet to materialize. Furthermore, your hope is dwindling away faster than you can build it. So, it’s time to give it another push. This post encourages you to engage a desperate cry to God, who specializes in doing wonders even in the dying minutes.
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested– 1 Chronicles 4:9 (NKJV).
And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” – Genesis 32:26 (NKJV).
Truly, the year is fast approaching its end and you feel frustrated that you can’t slow it down or pause it for a while. All your steps seem not to add up, and you’re feeling like giving up and sitting down to watch the year roll by. I have additional step for you to take. This is engaging a desperate cry to the eleventh-hour God for a change.
What is a cry of desperation?
This is a cry from the heart, an action in despair when every other thing seems to have failed. Furthermore, it is a call for an urgent intervention from a person who is capable of rendering it. It’s not a mere loud outburst of words or shedding of tears and mourning, but a hopeful cry for change.
Cry to the Almighty God
Effective desperate cry is one directed to God. This is because human beings are grossly limited and satan never gives you anything with your good in mind. On the other hand, the Lord is the creator of the whole universe, and has the manual for successful life in it. So, He is the best authority to cry to. His thoughts towards man are for his good (Jeremiah 29:11) and His instructions are not grievous words (1 John 5:3). Read more...
