Tearful Prayers

I love this quote! "Tears are prayers too. They travel to God when we can't speak." - anonymous

Psalm 56:8 says "Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll - are they not in your record?"

Praise You in This Storm by Casting Crowns says: "Every tear I've cried, You hold in Your hand."

Sometimes, we get so overwhelmed that we can't speak, and sometimes we can't even think long enough to put a string of words together in a prayers. In those times, tears can be prayers too. Sometimes they're just a prayer for God to give you peace so that you can form complete sentences to tell Him what's wrong, and other times they're whole prayers without words.
