Each human has three distinct parts: a body, soul, and spirit. A cry from the body is often a result of physical pain, and the cry at a funeral or at a loss through a death reveals the agony of the human soul. In Romans Paul also identifies an odd form of communication called “groanings which cannot be uttered” (Rom. 8:26). This form of utterance is from the depth of the human spirit of a person. At times the weight and burden in the human spirit becomes so strong that when a person begins to cry out, it forms more of a groaning, a sigh, a murmur or words, or a prayer that is inaudible in human words (Rom. 8:23; 2 Cor. 5:2, 4). It is important to understand that God responds and reaches out to those who cry out unto Him!
