We Pray For Blessings- my Hearts Cry

I love when I hear a song on the radio and its exactly

what God wants you to hear at that point or moment in your day or life.

This one brings me to tears everytime.

"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

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

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?"
-- Laura Story, "Blessings"

 Its amazing how good curling up at the feet of our Abba Father and weeping can feel and is so spiritually cleansing it can be. What songs or quotes bring you to the throne?
