My friend, God’s promise for today is from Psalm 126:5. The Bible says, "Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy." God is close to those who cry out to Him. He counts and accounts for every tear they shed. Even now, He is close to your tears. Your heart or the world may say the Lord has deserted you and that He is not listening to you. Throw away those thoughts, my friend. He accounts for every tear and will do justice for you. This verse says those who sow in such tears will reap with shouts of joy.

There was a girl who had tumors in her chest during her 12th grade—three tumors. She could not study at all. The doctor said she had to undergo surgery, and she did. But it was a painful procedure. She could not sleep or study and was crying all the time. After just a few months, she noticed another lump in her chest and was shocked. "Why is this happening again? I couldn't even bear the first operation," she thought. The doctor said she had to undergo another operation, and again, she endured the pain. Sadly, in just another month, the tumors spread throughout her chest. She was ready to give up, saying, "I cannot live anymore with all this pain. My family's money has dried up." The doctor said she now had 17 tumors and they didn’t know why they kept coming. She lost all hope.

But she heard from someone that our family was coming to the Ranchi Prayer Tower, and she met me and received prayer. She said that when I prayed, the power of God filled her. When she returned and checked with the doctors, there was no trace of the 17 tumors. All the pain was gone, and there was no need for another operation. She said, "Till today, I am free. The tumors have not come back. The Lord has touched me." The same Lord Jesus will touch you right now and turn your tears into shouts of joy.

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of tears and burdens. I trust in Your promise that those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Lord, I lay my pain, my struggles, and my fears at Your feet. I believe that You see every tear I shed and that You are close to me in my suffering. Please fill me with Your peace and comfort. Heal my wounds and restore my joy. Turn my tears into shouts of joy, Lord, and let Your love and grace shine through my life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
