mercies in disguise?

Do you ever have those days when everything is going great, and then, bam... you get the wind knocked out of you? Figuratively of course. Whenever I feel like that there are 2 songs that I ALWAYS listen to over and over again... Better Than I... and this one that I posted the lyrics to. Blessings. Yes, I really love music in case you haven't picked up on that by now. :) That and spending time with God really does help put everything into perspective for me. The trials & disappointments of life... all that stuff that we feel is tearing us apart... I believe that God has a plan for us in all of it. Man, it hurts like crazy... but in the end, it's usually for our good. Honestly, I haven't come to that end yet. But one day... one day I think it'll all make sense. But then again, maybe some things we'll never know until we reach heaven. Guess it keeps life fun, huh? It'd be pretty boring if we always knew what was going to happen before it ever did. God really does have this all figured out... so that, thankfully, we don't have to. We just have to have to trust that He does. And there are my very few, random thoughts for the night. :) God bless...

We pray for blessings

1. 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
   
   
   
   
   
   '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
   And 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?
