Why do you cry during prayer?

When you cry while you are praying it is a deeper and more sincere prayer. The Holy Spirit sometimes moves past your words and straight into your heart. In those moments, God softens you, humbles you, and positions your spirit for divine intercession, these tears are not random. They are evidence that God is touching something deeper inside you and it’s happening through another language (Tears). The Bible tells us that a broken and contrite heart is precious to God.

Psalm 51:17 (NKJV)

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart-These, O God, You will not despise.

When you weep in His presence, it’s often because your heart has become fully open, unguarded, surrendered, and healed. And God can trust an open heart. Sometimes you cry because the Holy Spirit is praying through you. The Holy Spirit interprets our groanings that are too deep for words into prayer.

Romans 8:26 (NKJV)

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Those groanings don't always sound like speech. Sometimes they sound like tears. You may not understand why you're crying, but heaven understands exactly what is being prayed. God does not ignore your tears. He records them. Every tear carries memory, every tear carries testimony.

Psalm 56:8 (NLT)

⁸ You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.

When you cry in prayer, God sees more than pain, He sees faith, He sees perseverance, He sees a heart that came to him instead of walking away. Tears and a distressed heart has always gotten God’s attention faster than perfect words.

Sometimes you weep because God is calling you to intercede for someone else or yourself when words are not enough tears speak when language fails, they reach where logic cannot. Tears don’t mean nothing is happening they mean something is being done on your behalf.

So never apologize for crying in prayer. Never suppress it, Never feel embarrassed. Your tears is not defeat they are intercession and what you’ve sown in tears you will reap in joy.

God Bless, Israel
