Isn't it true that some of our greatest blessings come after a particularly difficult trial? One of my favorite verses in the Book of Mormon is found in Ether 12:6 "And now, I Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith." Do we really dispute not because we see not? Blessings come as we are obedient, and sometimes it takes REAL faith to actually see those blessings. Sometimes they come in a form that we wouldn't expect, but they come still the same.

Enjoy this song that my daughter, Mia, loves to sing. The message is one of hope and happiness, even when times are hard. I hope it brightens your day just a little bit.

Here are the lyrics in case you would like to follow along:

​

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 is 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
 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 our home

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
