"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
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
Whay 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 ever promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
As long as we 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 the greater thirst this worldcan't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise

My Little Nephew :)

Isn't he just adorable?? :) I love this picture of hime :)

He is everything we need. So why do we ask for more?

"God I want this"," God I need that", "God I'll do whatever You want me to if you just give me this one little thing." Do these sound familiar? We've all said at least one if not all of these in one of our many prayers throughout our lives. But if God is our Savior why do we seem to think that we need these materialistic things? We don't. Why is it that everytime we don't get what we want we scream and throw a fit? If we have God what else do we need? We only need God to survive. These materialistic things that we "think" we need are nothing compared to Gods grace, mercy, and love. I mean He sent His Son to die for YOU and for ME! What else could we ask for? My point is Gods not a wish lish, He is the creator of the earth, the heavens, and the creator of you. No I'm not saying it's wrong to ask God for things, infact He tells us to : Matthew 7:8⁸For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 
I guess what I'm trying to say is thats not all God is for. He is here for you 24/7 thru the good and thru the bad....not just for your "wants".

Jesus loves you.
