Where in the Bible does it say God has seen your tears
- Life is a journey filled with moments of joy and challenges, victories and struggles. In the midst of these experiences, there are times when our hearts are heavy, and tears flow freely. During such moments, the Bible offers a comforting truth: God sees our tears. Although the precise phrase “God has seen your tears” may not appear verbatim in Scripture, the message is woven throughout the Bible, assuring us of God’s compassionate presence in our moments of vulnerability.
- Genesis 21:17-19 = God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, ‘What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation. God hears the cries of Hagar’s son Ishmael and reassures Hagar that He has heard his cries. While not explicitly mentioning tears, it illustrates God’s awareness of the situation and His compassionate response.
- Tears in Prayer:
- Psalm 39:12= Hear my prayer, Lord, listen to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping.”
- Our tears become a part of our prayers, expressing emotions that words alone cannot convey.
- Psalm 126:5-6= Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.”
- Tears can be seeds of transformation. God promises that sorrow can lead to unexpected joy and abundance.
- 2 Kings 20:5 = Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. Hezekiah’s prayer for healing, God tells him that He has heard his prayer and seen his tears. This verse emphasizes God’s attentive response to both prayer and emotional expression.
