Below is a quote from Charles Haddon Spurgeon. It has greatly encouraged me concerning my wordless prayers. He said:
“Often a poor, brokenhearted one bends his knee but can only utter his wailing in the language of sighs and tears. Yet, that groan has made all the harps of heaven thrill with music. That tear has been caught by God and treasured in heaven. The suppliant whose fears prevent his words will be well understood by the Most High. He may only look up with misty eyes. Tears are the diamonds of heaven, and sighs are part of the music of Jehovah's court. They are numbered with the sublimest strains that reach the Majesty on high. Do not think that your prayer, however weak or trembling, will be unregarded. Jacob's ladder is lofty, but our prayer will climb its starry rounds. Our God not only hears but also loves to hear it. “He forgetteth not the cry of the humble” (Psalm 9:12). . . . wherever there is a heart big with sorrow, a lip quivering with agony, a deep groan or penitential sigh, the heart of Jehovah is open.”
