Pour Out

 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord" (Lamentations 2:19a).

Water pours quickly. When you spill water, you don't have much time to clean it up before it's running everywhere. That's how we should be with God. We should run to Him quickly, pouring out our problems, our hurts, and our joys. He's not only there for us at all times, He wants us to bring everything to Him. He wants to be the One we run to. He tells us to pour out our hearts to Him like water, freely telling Him everything, holding nothing back.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us (Psalm 62:8).

People might fail us, but our Lord never will. We can trust Him with everything. He wants what's best for us, and He operates out of perfect love. Living in a fallen, sinful world, can bring many difficulties, but God will be our refuge, an ever-present help in times of trouble. Although He knows all our thoughts and secrets, He still wants us to pour out our hearts to Him. By doing so, we will find the solace and comfort that brings peace that passes all understanding.
