Job 36:13-14 NIV
[13] “The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.
[14] They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.”

Why do we so often resist crying out for help from God? We stretch our relationships to their limits, borrowing from everyone until there is no one left to turn to. In extreme cases visit every shrine for spiritual help.We wander the corridors of failure, blaming everyone but ourselves. Meanwhile, God watches in sorrow, yearning for us to ask for His help.

You might wonder, why doesn’t He help without being asked? The answer lies in the essence of our creation: we were endowed with free will, and God will not impose Himself upon us. Until we exercise our will to invite Him into our lives, we may find ourselves lost, even to the point of dying prematurely.

That’s why people can willfully reject God, and He will respect their wishes. We have to understand God and how He operates. Though He doesn’t quickly give up on us, He uses every opportunity to offer help. He will only leave you alone when He is sure that you have willfully rejected Him without manipulation.

Crying for help is not just empty words; it comes from a deep awareness that without God, we can do nothing. It is a humble acknowledgment of our need for His strength, guidance, and mercy.
