Medical research indicates that crying is a natural and beneficial response to emotional triggers and our body’s way of working through stress, calming our nervous system and removing toxins. Biblically speaking, is crying a sign of unbelief? Actually, no. It’s a form of communication with God. If God didn’t expect us to cry, He wouldn’t have given us tear ducts! God acknowledges and cares for those who weep. After all, the Psalms remind us that He keeps all of our tears in a bottle (Psalm 56:8). So don’t be hesitant to have a good cry.
