This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him; He saved him from all his troubles.This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.

… while we pray. Psalm 34, verses 4 through 7. And you sing some more, you read some more, you pray some more, you express your fears to God, you lift them up to the Lord. Will you then be able to fall asleep? Probably. but even if you don't your heart will be at peace dear friend it is not god's will that you lead a life marked by anxiety and fear it's just not you say my mom was a worrier i'm a or your hogwash. You can unlearn that habit. Everybody's anxious. You don't have to be everyone. You have the presence of the Holy Spirit within you. The same one who hovered over the deep, the same one who descended like a dove, the same one who took care of Paul and Silas in prison will do for you what my daughter did for her little boy. His name, my grandson's name, is Max. Yeah, I'm named after him. he's eight years old now, but at the age of 16 months, he had his first haircut. …
… What you say, David? David said, this poor man cried. And the Lord heard him and delivered him out of all of his trouble. Wait a minute. What you say, Jonah? Out of the belly of the fish cried I. and the Lord heard him and made the fish get sick and spit him up. God's going to make some things that's holding you spit you up. They're going to have to spit you up. They're going to have to spit you up. I feel something about to get loose in here. I feel the anointing of the Holy Ghost about to take over this place in here. I cried and the Lord heard me and delivered me out of all of my transgression. This is why I love him, because when I cried, he heard me. He answered me. I cried, and he came to my aid. I cried, and he rescued me. What you say, Revelation, the souls were crying out from under the altar, saying, how long would I have to go through this? …
We need, dear Brothers, if we are to speak aright for God, to know something of our soul's need, the depths of it, and then something of the Grace of God and the height of it in bringing us out of our distresses! Hence, according to our text, those who are set free declare or publish the name of the Lord. You cannot keep a man quiet if he has been, spiritually, in prison and has been brought out by God! If he has been condemned to die and has had his sentence canceled at the last moment, you cannot make him hold his tongue! You may tell him that he must keep his religion to himself, but it is impossible. He is so overjoyed about it—it has so charmed him that he must begin to tell somebody about it! You know that John Bunyan said that he wanted to tell the crows on the plowed land all about his conversion. It seems quite natural that he should feel like that and he did tell a great many besides the crows about it! There is something in a man who gets joy and peace in believing that will not be quiet. Perhaps some of you have been very ill and a certain medicine has been recommended to you and it has restored you. Now, do you not always feel, when you meet anybody who is ill as you were, that you must tell him about the remedy that cured you? You say, "You should try so-and-so! Look what it has done for me." Why do you need to tell him? You do not know why! You do not claim any very great measure of benevolence for doing it, for you cannot help communicating the good news to others. So is it with the man who is really saved by the Grace of God! He needs to communicate it and he is the fit man to communicate it because he who speaks from the heart speaks to the heart and he who speaks experimentally is the man by whom the Holy Spirit is most likely to speak to those who are in a similar experience. Perhaps, my dear Friends, some of you are now suffering on purpose that God may afterwards fit you the better to speak to others in a similar case—I believe it is often so and trust that it may turn out to be so in your case. …
Now, when we first enlisted in the Christian army, we were told from Christ's own Word that we must count the cost and we would have to suffer a degree of persecution. We were warned not to take upon ourselves, hastily, to carry out that for which we should have no power unless we sought it from above. We were warned, "In the world you shall have tribulation." Have we found it so? "Oh," says one, "that has been abundantly true to me! From those of my own household I first met with opposition! The Gospel has set those against me that were once my fondest friends." Just so, but now that it has come to pass, you will see how sincerely He dealt with you, that He would not entrap you into His service as though it would be altogether a thing of pleasure, but He warned you that it was a conflict, that it was a pilgrimage. You have found it so and now that it has come to pass, let this help you to trust Him for the future! But you were also told that if you trusted Him, you who were burdened with many sins, you would have them all forgiven and that this forgiveness would bring about a solid peace of mind. Have you found it so? Can you not stand up and add your name to the long roll of witnesses who say, "We looked unto Him and were lightened, and our faces were not ashamed! This poor man cried and the Lord heard him and delivered him from all his fears"? I bless the Lord I can say that the joy of the pardoned sinner is a sweeter and a better thing than I ever dreamed it to be. And the peace of conscience, which reflection upon the Atonement always brings, is better and more enduring than one could have fancied have fallen to the lot of so unworthy an one as he whom Christ had called! …
