Echoing prayer...

With my voice I cry out to the LORD;
with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD.
I pour out my complaint before him;
I tell my trouble before him.
(Psalm 142:1-2 ESV)
David is in a cave... hiding from Saul. As he cries out to the Lord for safety, strength, and comfort, his pleas echo throughout the cave.  We hear that here in the poetic parallelism of this Psalm.  His voice is heard echoing his cry for mercy and telling his troubles to God.  Sometimes it seems like our voice is just bouncing back. We hear ourselves and wonder if only our ears hear.  But He does. He hears with both ears.  Keep on crying out and pouring out. David did. And the LORD heard his cry.  He will hear yours too.
