Melissa

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 achings 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

This song by Laura Story is a song that has been carrying me through this past month of waiting, sleepless nights, nervous thoughts, and prayerful hope. I am so thankful that we have a God that cares about our every need! I know that I shared with you about my sister and the results that we have been waiting for! I am so HAPPY to tell you all that Melissa saw the oncologist today and found out that she is indeed CANCER FREE!! The Melanoma had not yet spread to her lymph nodes! Thank you Jesus for this news! I am in awe of your mercies that are new every morning. So often God's biggest blessings come in the midst of the storms..."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 the trials of this life are your mercies in disguise..."
I love you Mel!
