Quiet Time Coaching: "How and why to pray the prayer of penthos"

Is there a place for tears in prayer? Is crying a sign of indisciplined emotions? Or is it a sign of spiritual health?

I bring you a fifth look at the book by Richard Foster, "Prayer: finding the heart's true home". In the most recent chapter I've been reading, Richard talks about the significance of the "Prayer of tears", or, 'Penthos'.
