God Understands Your Tears

Posted on May 27, 2025 | Southern Asia Adventist Community Church Devotionals

 

Bible Verse
“Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?”
— Psalm 56:8 (KJV)
 
Ellen G. White Quote
“The Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. He waits with unwearied love to hear the confessions of the wayward and to accept their penitence.”
— Steps to Christ, p. 55
 
Reflection
There are moments in life when words fail when sorrow is deep, and no one seems to fully understand. But God does. He doesn’t overlook your pain. Psalm 56:8 paints a tender image: God collects every tear you cry. Not one goes unnoticed.
You may feel alone, but heaven keeps a record not just of your victories, but of your struggles. God is not indifferent to your grief He is near to the brokenhearted.
Ellen White reminds us of God's tender mercy. He waits patiently to comfort, restore, and forgive. Even in your lowest moments, you are not forgotten. You are loved.
 
Let This Be Your Prayer Today
Lord, thank You for seeing my tears and holding my heart. When I feel overwhelmed, help me remember that I am never alone. Comfort me with Your presence and restore my strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
