Hence observe,
That when sorrows are come to a great height, it is time for us to pray, that God would cast a compassionate eye upon them.
When we are past the cure and help of man, we are fittest objects for God. When the pressures of the people of Israel were greatly increased in Egypt, then the Lord himself saith, I have seen, I have seen (Exod. 3.7.) and when affliction is boiled up to the height, then let us say, See Lord, see Lord. When the rage and blasphemy of Rabshakeh, both by speaking and writing, reached even unto heaven, Then Hezekiah went, and spread the letter before the Lord (2 King. 19.14.) As if he had said, Lord, do thou read this letter, Lord, bow down thine ear and hear, Lord, behold and see, we are full of confusion, See thou our affliction. And when the enemies of the Jews in Nehemiah's time fell to scoffing and jeering the work they had in hand, and them in the work, then that zealous Governor puts it unto God, Hear, O our God, for we are despised.
