My Heart Cries Out: A 6-Day Devotional With Paul David Tripp

DAY 5 OF 6

Hard Moments

Hard moments 

between the already and the not yet. 

Hard moments 

in a world gone bad. 

Hard moments 

when temptation seduces. 

Hard moments 

with body weak and mind tired. 

Hard moments 

when friends promise, but betray. 

Hard moments 

when unexpected difficulty surprises. 

Hard moments 

when discouragement blinds vision.

Hard moments 

when once again sin rules the heart. 

Hard moments 

with so many things broken. 

Hard moments— 

but I am not alone. 

Hard moments— 

yet I am never left to my limited resources. 

Hard moments 

in your hands become 

hard moments of transformation. 

Hard moments

in your hands become 

hard moments of amazing grace.

To Consider:

• Try to recall a past “hard moment” in your life and consider how God’s amazing grace helped you through that time.

• Take some time to pray that God will transform today’s hard moments in ways that leave you singing his praises.
