323 - A Way Forward, Part 2 of 7
Po Jonathan S. Rose
Title: A Way Forward, Part 2
Topic: Second Coming
Summary: An important first stage in moving from hell to heaven, whether individually or as a cultrure, is to cry out to the Lord, even if we seemingly get no response. That is actually the Lord planting and building a desire in our hearts for something better than our current situation. This desire is a gift-much needed fuel for out journey.

Psalms 142
1
I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
2
I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
3
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
4
Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
5
I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."
6
Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.
7
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me. A Psalm by David.
