Prayer is an expression from our hearts. Psalm 62:8 says, “Trust in Him at all times. you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.” Hannah is a great example for us as one who poured out her heart.

1 Samuel 1:10 says, “And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish.” Silently she poured out her heart. Verse 13 says, “Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard…” In verse 16 she told Eli the priest, “I…poured out my soul before the Lord.”

Our tear are precious to the Lord. Psalm 56:8 says, “You number my wanderings; put my tears in Your bottle; are they not written in your book.” Interesting verse to ponder. Psalm 34:6 says, “This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.”

Our cries from desperation are noted by the Lord. Crying out is the language of need, that has no human answers ~ only through Divine Intervention.
