Lyrics:
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
And 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 each 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
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?

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win, we know
That pain reminds this hearts,
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
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?

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?

@purity24c

amen. if God allows any kind of suffering in life, He has His reasons, but He will never cause the suffering. He allowed Satan to attack Job and in the end, God gave everything back to Job

@themaddielovesite Just know that theres hope when your faith runs out. And know that you are always in good hands. The act of staying faithful is what counts. God promised a lot of things to his people in the past, some of them never received it, but they remained faithful(e.g Moses, Abraham). And be reminded always that your problems wont be bigger than the strength He has given you.

What if you can't stay strong anymore to wait for it to get better? what if it never gets better? I'm just waiting and waiting, but where's that better everyone's saying will come?

Sorry, I'm new to this YouTube stuff! That was supposed to be @1BasketballLover! Although it can be for anyone who needs it!

Look up "Jesus loves you" by stellar kart. All you can do is plant the seed, Jesus loves you, and he will never forsake you. Just turn it all over to him. Satan will try to hinder your faith, but don't give in. He will help you through anything and everything. I'll pray for you!

@1BasketballLover Those around you may not believe right now, but YOU believe, and God chose you to be there, in their midst, for them.. Just plant the seed and be the blessing in their lives and let them see God thru You.. Dont ever forget that God knows exactly what he's doing with you right now :) and its way bigger and better that what you and I can grasp or even imagine :) .. Hes THAT Good

[1BasketballLover]

I need to remember this song so i dont just go over the edge. i cant find a reason to try. i tried to speak out. nobody believed. not my parents. not my friends. i dont understand. i never will. all i keep saying is "why?"
