We act out because we are in pain and nobody is listening. We feel angry and frustrated. We feel defeated and discouraged. We feel there is no way to go and nobody cares. We may cry out and the responding silence is deafening. It seems that everybody is contained by their own issues. There is no room for me. This emotional prison may come from my not crying out to the right person. Others may convey rejection. They didn’t have time for me. Their struggles drown out mine. Having gone to them is futile.
There is an ear that is always listening and receptive. That ear is not only passively listening but actively inviting you to speak. He has made it known that He would have you. Cast all your cares on Him – He cares for you and me. He is already tuned in to your frequency. He was there waiting for your cry before you made it. His assuaging hand and voice will respond, understanding to your plea. All you need is to call to Him. Admit you can’t; knowing that He can.
God’s plan of your salvation has already been set. The arrangements have been made. All you need do is call upon Him in Jesus name and you are being saved in your dilemma. Acting out should look like, “O God, help.”
