Every Tear Counted

Psalm 56:8 reminds us that God sees every tear, including the ones nobody else knows you’ve cried. When you’re carrying hidden pain, grief, or loneliness, Scripture offers a comforting truth: your suffering has not escaped God’s attention. During his years as a paramedic, Jared Dyson encountered people whose deepest struggles weren’t always visible in their medical complaints. Sometimes, what they needed most was simply someone willing to notice, listen, and care. In this episode of Digging Another Well, we explore David’s words in Psalm 56:8 and what they reveal about God’s compassion for those who are hurting. David knew what it meant to be afraid, surrounded by enemies, and far from home. Yet he trusted that God knew his wanderings and remembered his tears. We also consider Psalm 147:3, John 11:35, and Isaiah 53:3, discovering that our Savior understands sorrow rather than standing far away from it. If you’ve been hiding your pain, wondering whether anyone notices, or struggling through a difficult season, this devotional offers biblical encouragement and a reminder that God sees you.
