People sometimes encounter situations when they need to be heard because it is the only way to get support. I have also had such problems in my life. In one such case, I needed help with moving to another apartment. I asked several people in my dorm to do this, but they ignored me. In this situation, I found myself unheard, even though I had severe difficulties. However, there was another situation when people heard my requests for help and responded. I was late for my flight and needed to arrive as soon as possible. By asking friends who have a car and explaining what happened, they helped me.
Comparing these two situations shows what it takes to be heard at the right moment. First, you need to reach out to someone who can help; the example above was friends. Second, it must be done with the proper respect. The difference between the environment where people can be heard and when they do not have such an opportunity is that people can turn to others for help and get it in the first case. In the second situation, people process the received news alone and have no one to discuss what happened.
Thus, to be heard by God, it is necessary not just to ask but also to pray (King James Version, 2018). The ritual of prayer takes place with the proper respect that assists God in hearing our requests (King James Version, 2018). In addition, God is the one who has the right and the power to help us in our time of need. The Bible tells us to ask for assistance only with a pure heart and holy intentions (King James Version, 2018). Scripture also says that those who boast of their faithfulness and honesty will go unheeded. Thus, faith teaches people but also develops an environment in which the needy person gets help. The Bible points out all the necessary considerations that must be taken to ensure that pleading for support is not self-serving, driven by laziness or self-pity, but objective and in-demand (King James Version, 2018). My Christian Worldview dictates that I need to develop an environment in which people are guaranteed to receive help and will be heard.
