Why does God keep my tears in a bottle? What does that even mean? Emma Dotter and faithful Watermark staff member Wes Butler in today’s episode talk about the historical significance of people using bottles to catch tears and how God never lets our sorrow go to waste. Wes also points out that in Psalm 56, David is an example of how laments are a prayer in pain that leads to faith because knowing God’s faithfulness leads us to hope in Christ.
