LORD, PLEAS E HE L P ME T O CHANG Eany tim e during th e chang e process : when w e begin t o change ,after we've trie d an d failed , or when w e need enduranc e fo r th elong, las t haul. An d it s desperation ca n shock , confuse , an dhumiliate ourselve s and thos e around us .Unfortunately, we don't alway s receive hel p from th e peo -ple who could touc h u s most deeply .It's tempting t o shut dow n an d tur n inwar d fro m thi s rejec -tion, but it' s crucial tha t we do not . When w e cry for help, we'r enear a turning poin t tha t coul d eventuall y hea l us . I f we don' tkeep movin g forward , we could fal l deeper int o ou r destructiv ebehaviors.So when we'r e rejecte d b y those wh o won't listen , w e ca nremember tha t somewhere—in a home, i n a church, i n a psychol -ogist's office—there are peopl e wh o wil l hear u s and respond .And w e need t o keep crying out unti l we find them .It takes courage: th e kin d tha t state s our need s without hys -terically slashing our wrists .We can find tha t courage i n God, who wants us to cry out t oHim, da y or night , and a s often a s we need to . H e neve r tire s o flistening t o us , of helping us , of creating miracle s tha t hea l ou rhearts and change us .When other s rejec t us , the Lor d linger s on. Hi s Spirit wil lnever leav e or forsake us , until th e da y we meet Hi m face-to-fac ein heaven , cryin g wit h joy .EHPERSONAL CHECKPOIN T1. Ha s anyone rejecte d you r crie s for help?

STUMBLING TOWAR D FREEDO MI cry out to the LORD;I pray to the LORD for mercy.I pour out my problems to him;I tell him my troubles.When I am afraid,you, LORD, know the way out.In the path where I walk,a trap is hidden for me.Look around me and see.No one cares about me.I have no place of safety;no one cares if I live.LORD, I cry out to you.I say, "You are my protection.You are all I want in this life. "Listen to my cry,because I am helpless.Save me from those who are chasing me,because they are too strong for me.Free me from my prison,and then I will praise your name.Then good people will surround me,because you have taken care of me.—Psalm 142YOUR RESPONS E1. Ho w can yo u lear n t o cry out t o God wit h your pain ?2. Ho w do you want Hi m t o respond ?87
