(Mission Cast) I Cry Out In Distress (Psalm 22:2; Hebrews 5:7)
Jeff and special guest Alice talk about Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the eve of his betrayal and crucifixion in such agony that great drops of blood fell to the ground from his forehead. While dying crucified to the cross, Jesus cried out with a loud voice in the words of Psalm 22:1 “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Then he cried out again, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” and died. They talk about the difference between distress (being torn apart, unraveling) as different from stress (intense pressure). Too much stress can overwhelm a person. When that happens, where does help come from? Alice shares a personal story of a recent time of distress and how the Lord worked in her and through people to provide help. If you are in grave distress, in which your life is in danger, we encourage you to call a friend or neighbor. Please do not despair, God knows you, hears you, and loves you. Help is on the way.
