We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise
Laura Story - Blessings
I've just found this song and feel so blessed. Too often we doubt our God when we're facing difficult times, like, "Is God really there?" "Then why He lets me face this problem?" Then this lyric reminds me over and over again how God never leaves me alone, like NEVER. I'm trying to look the problems that i'm facing from different perspective, like this "What if trials on this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights, are His mercies in disguise?" I know my God never lets me face problems that He knows i can't handle. And i believe through every rain, every storms, every hard nights He has a beautiful plan for me, He has a disguise purpose for my life. "You can't see the rainbow without the rain". "What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy?" If you drink 'water' from this world you will always be thirsty, the water from God can satisfy your thirst, and you won't be thirsty anymore (John 4 : 14 But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.)
