What does the Bible say about sowing in tears?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that those who sow in tears will reap in joy, highlighting the value of earnest prayer and concern.

Psalm 126:5 tells us, 'They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.' This verse emphasizes that heartfelt sorrow and earnestness in our efforts, particularly in the spiritual sowing of seeds—such as prayer and gospel proclamation—lead to a joyful harvest. The tears we shed in genuine concern for the souls of others enrich our spiritual labor, making it more fruitful. Sowing the seeds of truth is most potent when accompanied by the weight of sincere emotion and urgent prayer, akin to the rich biblical tradition of compassion for the lost.
