Looking to experience greater healing from trauma and emotional pain that you have experienced? I want to share with you one of the simplest, very important, but also highly overlooked healing experience. It’s something you may have overlooked. It may even be something that you look down upon, but it is an aspect of healing that we can’t overlook. We need it for times where we need deeper processing of our emotions. It involves the power of tears, grieving and lamenting. 



When was the last time you truly allowed yourself to cry? Not the quick wipe-away-and-move-on kind of tears, but the deep, soul-stirring kind that seem to come from somewhere beyond words? If you’re like many, the answer might be “I can’t remember” or “I try not to let myself go there.” We live in a culture that sees tears as weakness, grieving as self-indulgence, and emotional expression as something to be avoided rather than embraced.



Many are uncomfortable with tears and grieving. Most people do not even use the word lamenting. But I want to highlight them from a biblical perspective, for your empowerment in addressing pain, heartache, emptiness, trauma, neglect and loss in helpful ways.

My Journey with Tears



Early in my healing and freedom journey, because of my deep battles with obsessiveness, compulsivity, anxiety and bouts of depression–I opened up my heart for greater healing and freedom. I recognized my deep need for love and to experience the love of the Father in a personal way. 



I saw that I was carrying brokenness that needed tending to. I was no longer going to run from the emptiness and pain. I was ready to step into this journey. 



But I didn’t realize that when I opened my heart up, I became vulnerable to waves of tears that would suddenly hit me. It was like I became an open faucet of tears that would just show up. At first, I thought something was really wrong with me. I mean, I already thought a lot of things were wrong with me, but these tears seemed like a lot. 



So I asked someone who was praying with me about this issue. And he said something that was very helpful. He simply told me, “if the tears show up, just let them flow.” 



So I did that. At times I would have to excuse myself from a meeting I was in or take a bathroom break, but I gave myself room to let myself do something I didn’t do a lof of–just crying. 



I realized that it wasn’t about something being wrong with me. Something good was opening up in front of me, the ability to process through a bunch of emotions that had been built up in my system for years and never had any room to work their way through me. I had suppressed them and put on the good solider outfit, without giving any grace and space for my heart to breathe and work through the pain, emptiness and brokenness of my heart. 



From that moment on, I developed a positive and empowered view of tears. I appreciate tears. And by the end of this broadcast,
