We walk with Jesus to the gate of Nain, where compassion halts a funeral and a word brings the dead to life. From there we speak to weary hearts about prayer that sounds like tears, the mercy of God, and a bold return to trust.

• the miracle at Nain and what compassion looks like
• when words fail and tears become prayer
• God’s names as anchors for trust
• the call to stop weeping and look up
• confession, return to first love, and mercy
• a corporate prayer for help, healing, and turnaround

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.


The Story Of Nain

SPEAKER_00

Luke chapter seven verses eleven through fifteen and it came to pass that day after that he went into a city called Nan, and many of his disciples went with him and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and much people of the city was with her, and when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

Arise: Miracle At The Gate

SPEAKER_00

And he came and touched the coffin, and they that bear him stood still, and he said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise. And he that was dead sat up and began to speak, and he delivered him to his mother.

When Prayers Feel Like Tears

SPEAKER_00

Brothers and sisters, I know you might be sitting there right now, right where I am, in what feels like a truly difficult season. Maybe you run out of words. Every time you try to pray, your lips move, but the words never come out. Maybe all you have left are tears. So your prayers turn into a moan with tears that rush down the slopes of your cheek like a great waterfall. You are tired of fighting, and you're tired of trying to be strong. You just want to stop, you want to give up, so you cry and you cry some more and more and more.

God’s Voice: Do Not Cry

SPEAKER_00

But God is saying to you today: don't cry. I know what you are going through and you are not alone. I have heard your tears. I am Jehovah God, the God that healeth thee. I am bigger and greater than your challenges and circumstance. I am Jehovah God, the God that healeth thee. I will have mercy on you, and I will give you the victory. I am the great I am that upholds you with my righteous right hand. I will help you. Why do you cry? Fix your eyes on me and put your trust in me. I am alive forevermore.

A Prayer For Mercy And Return

SPEAKER_00

Oh Lord, we pray, have mercy on us, Lord. Have mercy on us as we face these challenges and trust in your holy name. Have mercy on us, Lord, as we believe and stand firm on your word, expecting a turnaround. Have mercy on us, Lord, as we have sinned and fallen short of your glory. But we turn back to you, our first love, and we cry out to you, Lord, have mercy on us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
