"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."

Ecclisiastes 3:1



Lately I have been considering this season of life God has called me to. I wish I could say that I never doubt the perfection of His Will, but I have. I praise God that Jesus always perfectly trusted the perfection of The Father’s Will and that Christ’s perfection covers me. Through His grace I pray that I would not be distracted from the perfection of His Will; that I would instead always remember His goodness and promises. For every season, no matter how trying or sweet, is appointed by Him for a purpose.

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 lifeThe rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are Your mercies in disguise
