There are people who are more emotional than others. When pressures and unfavorable conditions come, they get overwhelmed and cry. There’s nothing wrong with a few tears, but crying is not going to change the circumstances. Crying is not going to cause God to become sympathetic and move on our behalf. The only thing God and the circumstances of our life responds to is faith.
Let’s say you have a health condition. Instead of crying about it, have faith in God’s word and tell that health condition what Jesus has done for your body. He was whipped so that we can be healed (1 Pet. 2:24). When a marriage is rocky, don’t have a pity party. Command, in faith, peace, joy, and forgiveness in that marriage using the power we have in our words (Proverbs 18:21). Whatever situation you’re facing, apply faith to it and expect it to change.
Crying doesn’t move God. He hears our cry, but He doesn’t respond to tears. He responds to our faith. Place your faith in what God said and I guarantee things will get better.
I am ignored as if I were dead, as if I were a broken pot. I have heard the many rumors about me, and I am surrounded by terror. My enemies conspire against me, plotting to take my life. But I am trusting you, O Lord, saying, “You are my God!”
Psalms 31:12-14 NLT
