We bemoan our struggles and trials not realizing that faithful endurance produces strength and perseverance to overcome. I am thankful to God for reminding me that blessings so often do come from trials and disappointments. It is when we are weak and broken in spirit that He is strong and able to speak to us.
Thank you Laura for such a beautiful song and reminder that this world is not our home! I heard this song in my car today. I work in home health care with seniors and had 2 of my long term clients pass away in the same week, along with some other family struggles.
I have been praying about all of it but still felt pretty lost. This song brought tears to my eyes. It was exactly what I needed at that moment. Thank you to Laura for this gorgeous song that brought my heart and attention back to where they need to be. And, thank you to Life This song played one last week morning in my car, had never heard of it but I caught the chorus when it was ending and I just recorded that to hang on till I landed on this web today.
I have been a fan of this song for a long time. It reminds me to not expect this life to give me true happiness,for only life with Jesus will be able to make me truly happy. My husband and I know that the struggles in our 40 year marriage and raising eight children have molded us in faith who we are today.
We could write a book on our little miracles that God has shown us when we have trusted him with all our hearts. This song came at a perfect time. It was on my playlist years ago, but I had forgotten about it until I heard it today. The song has a verse exactly about that. I never heard it before. After crawling inside my sadness for a while, I listened to the stories during the Fall Share, I decided to trust in the Lord instead of myself.
I realized each time that I tried to feel sorry for myself, I was interrupted by a friend, a visit, a gift from a coworker who remembered my favorite soda, a phone call, a visit from my parents and then blessings from my dad and a real friend.
God puts angels in our path to help us along times of heartbreak. He brings us back from despair. 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.
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 As long as we 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. If you think you can predict the basic trajectory of your life, Micah Tyler's story shows that you might want to think again.
Micah Vander Stouwe on October 20, As we say "thank you" to those who have served our country so bravely, here is a list of freebies around the Twin Cities! Pam Lundell on November 10, Album: WOW Hits 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 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.
