Do you cry during prayer or worship?

jacko · 2024-10-15T15:16:05-0400

Like I find myself crying all the time during prayer or worship.. like its happening all the time and like I have to force myself to control it. Not sobbing, but like tears running down my face.

Is this just me? Curious... I NEVER cry for other things... To tell the truth, I didn't cry when my grandmother died whom I was really close with and loved dearly.

I guess real men do cry.. hahaha

Like I was at Church and we were singing and I wanted to raise my hands up and the second I did that I felt like I was about to cry, so I had to like close my eyes and put my hands down, look down and blink like 50 times really fast. My son was kinda looking at me funny.. and i tried to play it off.

There's nothing wrong with that.
I have, however been unusually emotional when the Clarksburg VA hospital forced my Dad to stay when he went for a check up. I scheduled an ambulance to transfer him. That's when they stabbed him through the lung. He died the morning I was getting him to safety.

I have been working towards opening a store that would allow me to personally minister to people's health needs.
My life savings went into it, but came up short when I underestimated the cost of inventory. It was going to be a refuge for healing through God given nutritional supplements, related health products and detailed consultations.
After being so stressed, sleepless, etc I have been applying that to myself right now, except some necessary supplements.My heart is to give to the poor, the elderly and those with disabilities, especially my brothers and sisters. I'm always asking for help to bless my Christian family. That has been a long dream I've worked hard towards.

9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

I have to admit that I am weary...
I need to get back to a point where I can help others, but I am grateful to be alive.

You already know a portion of the sagga about my Mom this summer, that I posted on the prayer list.
Although I appreciate the good nurses and respiratory therapist, it has been more than a challenge.

I stayed positive for Mom, but the medical staff and from my half brother who poured more grief upon me over and over. I have been depressed and had no appetite for months, just eating to function. I had new symptoms of everything from diabetes to cancer. Sorry to be so self centered as I think about it.

I love the Lord with all my heart and wept today as I read His Word and prayed. I am slowly healing, but might lose everything at the end of the month because I forgot to pay last year's property tax while my Mom has needed help. I'll be weeping to our Lord each day.

“Father God in heaven, in the mighty and powerful name of Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, I come before You, asking that You meet the needs of our sister in this hour of great distress. You are the source of all provision, and we trust in Your faithfulness to sustain and bless her.

Let Your peace and comfort surround her, and may she find hope and strength in Your presence. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.”

In one of the Psalms it is written as a request that God save our tears in a vial as a memorium. You are blessed to have a vial such. Now please pray for my need at present. It seems I have developed da craving for sweets at the tender age of 80. This came out of left field and I am perplexed. I do not know but it could have to deal with being pre-diabetic, so I thank you in advance for your prayers. In Jesus Yeshua, may you always be blessed, amen.

Heavenly Father,

I come before You with a humble heart, seeking Your guidance and strength. Thank You for the gift of life and for each day that You bless me with. I acknowledge the cravings for sweets that have arisen in my life, and I find myself perplexed by this change.

Lord, I ask for Your wisdom to understand this situation. If it is related to my health, particularly with being pre-diabetic, I pray for Your divine intervention. Help me make choices that honor my body as Your temple and lead me to healthier habits.

Please grant me self-control and the strength to resist temptations that do not serve my well-being. Surround me with Your love and peace as I navigate this challenge. May I lean on You for comfort and guidance, trusting that You have a plan for my health and my life.

In the name of Jesus Yeshua, I pray. May Your blessings be upon me now and always.
Amen.

yes, I cry during worship...glad to hear you do too...I have a handkerchief and blow my nose!...the LORD is so PRECIOUS!!!

When a grown man cries
You can feel the thunder
He can call down Angels
With signs and wonders

That's one of the first things you should check for when you visit a new church. Do they have a tissue box at the altar? If they don't, ask where it is. If they look at you funny, look at them funny and find a different church.

you're crying, i believe, is a sign of true heartfelt love for God's children. it seems you have an immense amount of compassion for mankind. some pastors do that. no, i don't cry. maybe because i've been thru a "battle zone" with the way we were raised. too, i trained myself early in life as a teen to: "be ready for anything, anytime, anywhere & don't be surprised".

Sometimes I do, but I hate when it happens in church. I don't wear makeup everyday but I do for church. It's simple minimal makeup just to look polished, not dolled-up. But when I start to cry during worship and prayer, my mascara starts to run and I hate that, lol!
