Blessings

About a year and a half ago, I attended a meeting and heard a song that touched me so deeply.I had been struggling with my health and been through a few rough days, and the lyrics helped me to realize a few important things. I went home that day and searched the internet for the song and lyrics. It is called "Blessings" by Laura Story. Here are the lyrics:

                                                                       "Blessings"

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
And 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 rain drops
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 rain drops
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

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 rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
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
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise

Lyrics from AZ Lyrics

Our trials can be blessings in disguise. When we recognize those blessings, we become more grateful for what we have. We may not be completely healthy, but we have a inner strength that is unmatched, or a life experience that has made us better. Sometimes it take going through rough times heal us from other pains. Healing can come from tears and strength can come from trials. Look for the blessings. What blessings have you seen if your life when going through difficulties?
