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
