Mercies in disguise...

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
And 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

‘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
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know the 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


The lyrics that you just viewed go with a song that is very near and dear to my heart. It is called Blessings by Laura Story and every time I listen to it, my heart is encouraged. So I encourage you... look it up on iTunes or Youtube, or whatever you prefer, but listen to it. Let God use it in your life.

I want to tell you a little about one of the truths in this song. Many times we don't know why God is having us do or go through something. Sometimes we go through things that aren't so easy and we wonder why.

My dear friends, do not ever forget this:

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

God is teaching me so much right now about trust. It sounds silly but I have to trust that He will teach me how to trust Him more. We have to trust that whatever situation we are in, God has a plan and His plan will prevail. What a comfort to know that we are in the hands of the sovereign God. The only One.

So let this encourage your heart... God is working for your good and blessings come in many forms! So don't forget to give thanks to HIM! HE is SO worthy!

May GOD bless you and draw you nearer to Himself!
