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.
When Holy Spirit comes in top continue the work of conforming us to the image of the Son, there are tears.
That has been my experience anyway.

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!

yes,,, Jesus I love you and worship you, but I can’t cry at church. I’m new here. 😭🙏

I worship better in my room late at night all alone… I let it all out! I feel the Holy Spirit as I cry and lift up the lords mighty name!

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.

If you have a paid membership here, you can Private Message PM me if I can be of service. Someday, I'll get that, but it's only the member who must initiate contact.
I'm limited as to how much we can do here, but perhaps that will be helpful.
I am a Nutritionist when working.
Here my work is at no charge.

Oh that's right. I remember you telling me now that you mentioned it.
I'll need to get that feature when I'm able.
Have you had a go fund me page set up yet? :unsure:

It has been done before to help a mission's effort in India, many members here contributed.

I spent the day contacting local philanthropic organizations. Thank you for the reminder. I have to fell a big dead tree tomorrow and have that on my list too. Feel free to remind me again though as I've been very forgetful lately.

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
I am not, nor have I ever been a cry baby.

A couple years ago, Father delivered me from a really bad relationship, and 30 years of backsliding. I had wept before the Lord before, at my conversion, and during worship a couple times. But since the Spring of last year, I absolutely cannot get into the presence of God without crying like a baby. So what makes me cry? Well, past sins and all the damage I've done for one. But the other is the grace and mercy of God.
I can be weeping over my sins and rejoicing in His love and forgiveness all at the same time. And besides that, there's no telling when The Spirit will fall on me or for what reason, but He's been doing it regular since I found my way home. Its strange for sure, but I can't ever recall having so much peace. Not in a very long time at least. God is so good.

His daddy told him when he was five
Real men don't cry
The whole world sold him this pack of lies
Real men don't cry
So his tender heart turns colder
As the days turn into years
He's erasing all the traces of his tears

He wants to be a man
He wants to be strong
But it's hard to know excatly what to do
'cause he can't be the man
He's meant to be
Till he can be a man
Who finds himself in you

“During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬
