biblical crying....

Reading Robert Kellermen's, God's Healing for Life's Losses

"Crying empties us so there is more room in us for God."

"Psalm 56:8 teaches us that we pray our tears and God collects them in His bottle."

"Psalm 72:12 assures us, 'For He will deliver the needy who cry out'."

"Crying out to God is a testimony that God is responsive, while all false gods and idols are non-responsive (1 Samuel 12:20-24)."

"When we cry out, we entreat God to help because expressed neediness compels God's very character to act. God acts on voiced pain. He is NOT a deaf and dumb idol."
