"CRY ALOUD"

Psalm 55:17

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:  and he shall hear my voice.

This means vocal, loud,  prayer.  But it means more than that.   "Hamah" is the original Hebrew word for "cry aloud" (check this online at www.blueletterbible.org),  "Hamah"  means:

"to murmur, growl, roar, cry aloud, mourn, rage, sound, make noise, tumult, be clamorous, be disquieted, be loud, be moved, be troubled, be in an uproar"

SERIOUS PRAYER

This is serious prayer, not our quiet, "Lord bless so and so", prayers. It is loud, troubled, moving, prayer, full of emotion and disturbance of mind and soul.

FERVENT PRAYER

Our prayers must be "fervent", "hot", to really move us and move God.  Weak, lackadaisical, lazy prayers are the lukewarm of Revelations 3:15-16.  God wants us to be moved in prayer, if we expect Him to be moved by our prayers.

TEARS

I usually pray silently,   And there is a time for that.  But sometimes prayer needs to be disturbed, troubled, upset.   I want the Lord to move my spirit by His Spirit, so that my prayers can truly come from the depths of my heart.  I want  deeper concern, real anguish, over what I am praying about, whether I am praying for myself, someone else, a relationship, a situation, or anything else.  Sometimes, there should be tears.

I want my prayers, and my prayer life,  to be strong.  Please pray for me.
