"Blessing" by Laura Story

As I have been traveling back and forth to work that is my praise and worship time with KSBJ. I also use that time to pray and believe me I need lots of prayers and one of them is for God to open up my ears to hear what he wants me to hear and do. Well I listen and I heard this song that summed up just what I think he wanted me to know about this struggle I have been going through. It is by Laura Story and the name is "Blessing" I went and found the words on line and I wanted to share them with all of you in hopes that if you’re going through a storm in your life this song may help.

Blessing

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 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
You 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
