Thomas Brooks emphasizes the power of tears in the lives of God's
people, illustrating how their heartfelt cries can move God to action.
He reflects on the message from 2 Kings 20:1, where God instructs
Hezekiah to set his affairs in order due to impending death, yet
responds to Hezekiah's tears with healing and restoration. Brooks
highlights that God sees and acknowledges our pain, promising hope and
deliverance even in dire circumstances. The sermon encourages believers
to bring their sorrows before God, trusting in His compassion and
ability to heal.

"This is what the Lord says--Set your affairs

in order, for you are going to die. You will not

recover from this illness." 2 Kings 20:1

The tears of God's people have such a kind of

omnipotency in them, that God Himself cannot

withstand them. "I have seen your tears.

I will heal you, and three days from now you

will get out of bed and go to the Temple of

the Lord." 2 Kings 20:5
