What if Trials of This Life are Your Mercies in Disguise

Blessings, by Laura Story

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 rain drops
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 rain drops
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 heart
That this is not,
This is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
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
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise

dusting off the cobwebs

just did a little trip down memory lane and I think I don't like who I am today.
my days are filled with entertaining my mind, overload of funny videos, liking fb posts, whatsapp messages, refreshing my email inbox page. no moments of silence unless im asleep.. even though that itself may not b that silent if i start snoring.

i've become too content with what i'm doing. not to say I spend all my time on meaningless things, but I have allowed the activities to take priority in my life. It has been a while since I last did a proper reflection on my day and my attitudes, the posture of my heart before God. It has been a while since I faithfully committed friends/family/things in my life to God in prayer.

I look back and see the friends I used to speak to, the songs that used to be on my lips and can't help but long to return to those joyful days. I may be able to say that I do feel more carefree without having assignment due dates to stress me out, but I want the joy of the Lord to be my strength again. I don't want to be all talk no action, talk is becoming cheaper.

Jesus, be the centre of my life.
