Thursday Prayer: hear our weeping

What cannot be said will be wept
– a quote attributed to Sappho

You have kept count of my tossings;
   put my tears in your bottle.
   Are they not in your record? 
-Psalm 56: 8

O God,
when words fail
hear our weeping.

Hear our weeping,
treasure our tears,
answer our cry.

Amen.
