Do you ever feel like you cry too much?
Apparently, the Lord wants us to reach out and “cry unto him” … A LOT!
In The Book of Mormon it says:
Yea, cry unto him for mercy; for he is mighty to save.
Yea, humble yourselves, and continue in prayer unto him.
Cry unto him when ye are in your fields, yea, over all your flocks.
Cry unto him in your houses, yea, over all your household, both morning, mid-day, and evening.
Yea, cry unto him against the power of your enemies.
Yea, cry unto him against the devil, who is an enemy to all righteousness.
Cry unto him over the crops of your fields, that ye may prosper in them.
Cry over the flocks of your fields, that they may increase.
But this is not all; ye must pour out your souls in your closets, and your secret places, and in your wilderness.
Yea, and when you do not cry unto the Lord, let your hearts be full, drawn out in prayer unto him continually for your welfare, and also for the welfare of those who are around you.
He doesn’t just say pray unto me… He says: “CRY unto me.”
Your tears are sacred. Each one is a liquid prayer unto the Lord. And when you are crying… you are listening to what the Lord wants you to do in these scriptures!
Today I cried my way up a mountain while hiking… I “poured out my soul in my wilderness.”
It felt good.
If you need to cry your guts out… DO IT… the Lord wants to hear the tears from you!
