My Heart Cries Out: A 6-Day Devotional
This article is part of the ESV.org Reading Plans series.
Speaking to God from the Heart
The Christian life is marked by joys and struggles, and much like the psalmists, our hearts long to cry out to God, our maker, sustainer, and redeemer—in both praise and calls for help.
Paul David Tripp, author of My Heart Cries Out: Gospel Meditations for Everyday Life says:
The life of faith for a follower of Jesus Christ is messy. We live in a fallen world where every believer will deal with disappointment, grief, pain, and confusion. There is something about the freedom, creativity, and emotionality of poetry that allows me to capture this spiritual struggle using a different style in the form of verse, written as I interacted and communicated with my Lord and Savior.
