  • Blessings

    Been going through another rough period in my life. Just broke up with Kevin and I'm reflecting back on this relationship, and what to do with it. It's so frustrating... because I have yet to come up with a definite answer. All I can do is just rely on God... trust that He will do all that He can. 
    So this song has been replaying in my mind (and in my car, haha) throughout this week. It was originally a favorite song that Kevin had introduced me to. It's called Blessings, by Laura Story.
    We pray for blessings, 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 us 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
    And all the while You hear each desperate plea
    And long that we'd have faith to believe
    'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
    What if Your healing comes through tears?
    And what if a thousand sleepless nights 
    Are what it takes to know You're near?
    And what if trials of this life
    Are Your mercies in disguise?
    When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win
    We know that pain reminds this heart
    That this is not, this is not our home
    It's not our home
    'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
    What if Your healing comes through tears?
    And what if a thousand sleepless nights
    Are what it takes to know You're near?
    What if my greatest disappointments 
    Or the aching of this life
    Is the revealing of a greater thirst
    This world can't satisfy?
    And what if trials of this life
    The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
    Are Your mercies in disguise?



    Every single word of this lyric is such a crazy realization for me. 
    These lyrics give me hope.
