“Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD” (1).

That’s what Jonah did, when he found himself in the fish’s belly.

Peter the disciple was headed for the depths when he cried out to Jesus. (Peter was walking on the water but started sinking, you might recall.)

Did crying out to God do any good for them?

Yes, of course!

Well, then . . . .

In my distress, let me also cry out to God!

“Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication” (2).

from Psalm 130:4
