17. The righteous cry. Like Israel in Egypt, they
cry out under the heavy yoke of oppression, both of sin, temptation, care, and
grief. And the Lord heareth.
He is like the night watchman, who no sooner hears the alarm bell than he flies
to relieve those who need him. And delivereth them out of all theirtroubles. No net of trouble can so hold us that the Lord cannot free us.
Our afflictions may be numerous and complicated, but prayer can set us free
from them all, for the Lord will show himself strong on our behalf.
