God hears our cries and responds to our deepest longings as affirmed in Scripture, and He is always present on His throne.
The psalmist expresses feelings of despair in Psalm 42, questioning, 'Why hast thou forgotten me?' (Psalm 42:9). However, despite this feeling, we affirm that God is always on His throne, overseeing creation and hearing the cries of His people. He does not disregard the anguish of those who seek Him earnestly. As we learn in this psalm, our cries, no matter how deep our sorrow, serve to remind us that God is aware of our struggles. He commands His lovingkindness and will never leave us without comfort. Thus, when we seek Him with our whole heart, we can trust that He will be found (Jeremiah 29:13).
