The new Pharaoh made conditions far worse for the Israelites, burdening them more with work under mores severe treatment. The Israelites began to groan and cry out out God. God attended to their cries. God's timing is perfect. This was 40 years after Moses fled to Midian. God was preparing the people to truly want to leave this bondage. How often does this happen to people, God allows hardship on people so that they will hate their bondage enough to cry out to God for salvation. God knows just what needs to happen in someone's life to repentance and a point to seek God's help. Trials and tribulations are as important as blessings in accomplishing the plan of God for those His Spirit calls to redemption.
For Moses, perhaps being in Midian 40 years was needed to get the "Egyptian" out of him.
