Prophetic cry

 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’" Matthew 25.6

The prophetic cry has been echoed around the world. But who will listen? There are virgins waiting for the Bridegroom and virgins corrupting themselves with other boyfriends. Time is near, the faithful virgins know this and are prepared. The unfaithful, however, enjoy life with the delay of the Bridegroom.

Answer

"This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles."

Psalm 34.6

I doubt it that there's no immediate answer to the sound of sincere cry to God! Can God Almighty lie about His promises?

Afflicted

"He does not preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the oppressed."

Job 36:6


The Lord always hears the cry of the oppressed, and is always ready to defend them and make justice prevail on their behalf.

Prayer and supplication

"Then hear in heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause..."

1 Kings 8:49


The cry of the just reaches the Throne of God and the answer is immediate. Nevertheless, many times the devil tries to stop it with doubts. For this reason, it's important to be in the faith.

God's habitat

"For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “ I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." 

Isaiah 57.15

God is always close to those who are afflicted, just waiting to be called. One must manifest their faith by crying out to Him.

Pit

"Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug."

Isaiah 51:1

Those who seek justice is found by the Lord of justice. Wherever they are, even in the deepest pit, God will find them and hear their soul's cry.

Rejoicing

"He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Psalm 126:6

In spite of the difficulties that you face, it is important to work - giving of yourself - because you will certainly reap the joy of your fruits here in the present.
