In Psalm 6:6 David says: “I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.” (KJV)
Some 45 chapters later we find David asking of the Lord:
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
In essence, pouring out his heart with tears, David was completely honest with God. We can be honest with God even when we are filled with a variety of emotions. However, crying releases the gentleness of man and surrenders his emotions. Because we trust in an all-powerful God, we don’t have to be victims of circumstance but rather be victorious over any and all obstacles in our lives. Go ahead. Cry!
Psalm 126:5 speaks a lie changing volume: “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” (KJV)
Again, Cry! Let the power of your TEARS speak life into you situation!
