Definition: The term "cry1" in the Bible refers to a single individual's cry out for help or to be helped, often during times of distress. In Hebrews 4:10, the apostle Paul says, "For he has made us stand firmly on our feet and given us power to take up our cross daily and keep it." This phrase is used metaphorically as a way of describing those who cry out for help in order to be helped or protect others.
