Sometimes You Just Need To Cry

That's right! How is that for a depressing title but the good news is that the results to what we may percieve as a weak moment may be just what we needed. Within my personal life there are many situations happening that I do not feel a release to share but suffice it to say that along with the present happenings and 2012 being the hardest year I can recall my emotions or sometimes lack of them have been raw. Anxiety seems to creep up as well but I believe today was a turning point as I attended a new small group study for ladies. The subject? Help For The Frazzled Female..a lesson book we are doing. At the end I began to cry during prayer and I lost my composure but that is where I found myself surrounded by other women who care and took time to pray for me as I shared a little of my heart. It was a safe place. I try so hard to be strong and seldom ever admit I am struggling but I believe today was a turning point in the process of healing. There really are caring people. I know I have friends right here and I thank you for your encouragement as well. Sometimes people just can't help us because of the fronts that we put on or at least I do but there is a time for everything and a season.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Amplified Bible (AMP) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source] of every comfort (consolation and encouragement), 4 Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction), so that we may also be able to comfort (console and encourage) those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort (consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted (consoled and encouraged) by God.

    Tears can be a great cleansing and a great help to our well-being. No one should ever be ashamed to cry when they feel the need to. Hugs sweet Cheryl

    I think we all try to put on a front at times, but here we can be ourselves as we arent face to face, but heart to heart instead. I am so thankful you found a place there that you can let go and get the comfort needed. I pray God blesses you in a mighty way Cheryl....

    I agree that a good cry can be a good release. There is nothing 'weak' about letting go and letting others help, Cheryl. God has led you to this new group, and they are welcoming you and helping you already. Praise God. Face-to-face encounters can be much more comforting than just getting advice and love from your friends here. We all try to be strong, but sometimes being strong is letting go. Bless you!! I love you and cherish you.

    2 Corinthians 1:3,4 What a wonderful God we have--he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials. And why does he do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us.

    There is nothing better than a good cry followed by some praying to bring peace to ones soul!
