Peace in Worship

I find great peace in worship and often when I have so much on my mind I turn to worship and it allows me to let go. I have listened to this song time after time tonight. I think when she wrote this song she got it right. In the closing hours of this day that was filled with a tragedy that has left our nation heartbroken and feeling a little defeated. I know that we are not defeated.  You draw close to the brokenhearted. May those who are broken tonight and feeling lost seek you, may they feel your peace and find joy in the days to follow when it seems difficult. May they see your light shine over a dark tragedy. I pray for healing for our nation father God, and I pray that we bring heaven to earth.  Now I sit in peace and listen to the rain, and seek to hear your voice. I thank you for being a faithful father.

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
