Here's a question for you....how do you know the difference between carrying someone else's burdens, and dealing with your own?
How do you move from sitting in the muck and emotions of it all, and sifting through all of that to get to the truth of the matter?
When/why do YOU cry?
Confession
"If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1:9
Accountability/Healing
"But if you confess to one another and pray for one another, you will be HEALED" James 5:16
Salvation/Rescue
"In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry [did enter] into his ears." 2 Sam 22:7
"In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into his ears." Psalm 18:6
Intercession
"And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines." 1 Samuel 7:8
"The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry." Psalm 34:15
Prophecy
"The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All men are like grass, and all the goodliness thereof are like the flowers of the field...The grass withers, and the flower falls: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." Isaiah 40:6,8
"So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy." Zec 1:14
Discipline
"Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily." Psalm 86:3

Ahh… The crisis of working with people in crisis! All I can offer is my experience (from parish life and from Pastoral classes). You don’t own their problem, and you don’t have to carry it. That is the difference between empathy and sympathy – in sympathy the problem becomes yours – and it doesn’t belong there, because accompanied with it is a knowledge that you cannot fix it, and that is so unhelpful – to both you and the person in crisis. If you are weighed down with their problem, you will not be an effective listener. Those of us in (or aspiring to be in) helping professions go through this and it can actually be called “compassion fatigue”. And believe it or not, you need to set up boundaries for yourself – not walls to keep people out, but to know your triggers and when you have crossed the line into allowing someone else’s problem to become your own.
When do I cry (tears?)? - out of fear. Fear for something I may have said or done or how I may have hurt someone. Fear over the outcome of what someone has done to me.
When do I cry (out to God?)? I guess it is the same thing... but also broader in context to include frustrations as well as fears - but it could be in gratitude and thanks and wonder as well!
Take care of yourself – go for a walk and enjoy the rain, or whatever it is for you that will let you re-orient!
Love you muchly! xoxo
i cry when i am broken and when i am intercede for someone.
carry someone other's burden, when when i am carry someone burden i feel tense in my shoulder and my neck(i know it is weird)but i am learning the lord lift the burden and giving them to him, his yoke is easy and his burden is light.
good questions though :D
love you aurora
i dont know if we are supposed to know the differeance between carrying someones burdens or carrying your own.
becuase we are one in the spirit, so if someone is heavy laden, then we too should be heavy laden. becuase my burden is your burden and your burden is my burden...
the trick in either case is simply realease it right away...remove your heavy burden and your hard yoke and give it to Christ who says his burden is light and his yoke is easy...and thats the truth.....
as far as the crying thing....this is nicole brindle...i dont cry...
well...my eyes might get a little watery when i see some my girls profile pictures and they are dodgy, or when im reading blogs, or nexopia posts or msn names and there is pain and lust in them....that makes me cry. and REALLY REALLY ANGRY. like i will see there internet profile and just stare at the computer screen and be filled with sadness.
To my four ladies; thanks for your comments, and to anyone else, don't be afraid to put your two cents in as well! I'm beginning to learn that the ability to cry is a gift. Some people just don't....cry, that is (you know who you are!!) I had trouble embracing that for the longest time because you always see heroes breaking down in tears during a moment of weakness...but when we are 'soft'(aka humble, broken, whether that looks like tears or whatnot...) then God can show Himself as our strength. It's also sometimes the only thing that will prove how sincere you are about your heart's cry....with tears.
