You know, we go through trials in our lives and we ask why? We ask many different why's. Why me? Why now? Why this? We never have all the answers. Sometimes we never find out the answers to the why's. It is frustrating and disheartening at times, but I have always been a firm believer in everything happens for a reason!
I have watched friends struggle with loosing babies that were wanted and loved from day one but became angels before birth. I have lost friends/classmates at young ages. I have lost family members to illnesses like emphesyma and cancer. Life is hard and full of struggle.
I don't have all the answers to the why's but I can say that during these times is when we should be hitting our knees and calling on God! He probably won't give us the answer either but what if the answer is just that... He wants us to call on Him! He needs us to call on Him! This doesn't mean that if we call on Him that nothing bad or sad will ever happen. Those things will happen. There will be things that we will never understand but this I can promise... God will never leave us or forsake us! Even when we feel alone, He is there!
This post is not foreshadowing of something in my life. This is just a moment of reflection for families everywhere that are dealing with a difficult situation right now.... death, illness, loss. Whatever our trial may be, God is here today, tomorrow, and forever for us!
These are the lyrics for one of my favorite songs.... "Blessings" by Laura Story...

"Blessings"
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
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
