The obvious answer would be to let someone else say it, but I want to be able to do it without tears. Does this happen to anyone else and have you been able to overcome the tears and if so, how?

It just feels more real when you say it yourself. Are you emotional when you pray outloud? It could be the level of intimacy over-whelms you.
