Allow the tears to come

Expect tears to come at the most inopportune times.  When they come do not apologize or feel bad. Tears are part of how God has designed your body (physical, emotional and spiritual) to help you heal!

Crying has many different health benefits. On a physical level, tears release chemicals (oxytocin and endorphins) that make people feel good and ease physical and emotional pain. That is why we often feel better after we have cried.  

Crying activates that part of the nervous system that helps us relax.  That is why we often sleep better after a good cry.  


God has designed tears to appear unexpectedly, even when we don’t want them because it lets other people know that we need comfort and are suffering emotionally.  Even a single tear gets the message across to those who can help even when we don’t want to share or admit our need.
In prayer claim God’s promise found in Isaiah 41:10 for yourself. 
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
