Giving Our Tears to God


Hello Reader,

Have you ever cried so hard that words wouldn't come?

In this episode, Rachel explores how our tears themselves can become one of the most honest prayers we ever pray.

Discover the beautiful truth of Psalm 56:8—that God collects and treasures every tear you've cried—and learn how to bring your wordless grief into His presence.

Rachel shares practical ways to pray when you're overwhelmed with emotion, unpacks the hope found in Revelation 21:4's promise of a future without tears, and tells a personal story about an answered prayer that changed with life's seasons.

If you're navigating loss, disappointment, or grief that's too deep for words, this episode will remind you that God doesn't just tolerate your tears, He treasures them.
