Lamentations 3:8

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

Even when I cry out and ask for help, he does not listen to my prayer.

See the chapter Copy

My God, I kept calling by day, and I was not silent at night. But you did not answer me.

“God, I cry out to you for help, but you don’t answer. I stand up and pray, but you don’t pay attention to me.

I shout, ‘He hurt me!’ but get no answer. No one hears my cry for fairness.

About three o’clock Jesus cried out loudly, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” This means “My God, my God, why have you left me alone?”

Lord, I continue to ask for help. When will you listen to me? I cried to you about the violence, but you did nothing!

You wrapped yourself in a cloud so that no prayer could get through.

Lord God All-Powerful, when will you listen to our prayers? How long will you be angry with us?

You wrapped yourself with anger. You chased us. You killed us without mercy!

Yes, whoever continues to ask will receive. Whoever continues to look will find. And whoever continues to knock will have the door opened for them.
