1 Kings 3:7-10
And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
Solomon cried unto the Lord for wisdom in sincerity and desperation, God answers his request and grants him more than what he has asked for.
Have you ever reached a place of desperation, where you have one else to call out to for help? You feel hopeless, so frustrated, and at the edge of depression that you have no other choice but to cry out to the Lord.
In January 2011, I was celebrating my birthday, however, I was so low in spirit and feel as if I haven't accomplished anything in life. I was there in my room feeling worthless. I ask myself, why are you on the face of the earth? And all I could hear is why don't you end your life, and then you would not have to go anything. Look at you how you are suffering, don't you see God has forgotten you.
I looked through the window and all I see is the ackee tree and said to myself yes this makes perfect sense. I knotted the sheet together and send a few messages to some person, telling them I appreciate them.
But in the midst of it, I heard a voice say, my child, I will never leave you, I will always be with you. I God love you with an everlasting love. Right there and then I left the house and went for a walk, where I find myself at the Emancipation Park, while there began to cry and ask the Lord to help me get through the feeling of worthless and depression and these words came to me
Here I am, down on my knees again, Crying out to you. I need your grace, your mercy to see me through. My heart is broken, and I am weak. Please mend my broken pieces and make me strong. Cause I need you to hear me one more time. One more time father, I'm calling on you, one more prayer I'm praying to you. One more tear I'm crying father, Heal my body; touch my soul as I yield my spirit to you, I need you now, oh Lord, one more time.
I'm on my knees pouring out my heart to you; from this earth Lord please hear my cry. Renewed my mind, touch my soul and purify my heart, because I need you to hear me one more time
The enemy will speak lies in your ears, but when he does, just tell him you are not what he says you are. That the God that you serve is right there in the midst of your lowest valley.
Whenever you get despair and frustrated just cry out to God one more time and I guarantee that He will hear you and answer you.
