What your blessings come through raindrops?

Everyday in our life we look at what problems and pain we go through, but when do we look at those little blessings that God sends to us?
(Song is down Below)
this is a song that shows us this, what if the blessings come though the raindrops that fall around us? what if the healing that we desperately want and seem to need come through the simple act of crying out to God and talking to him even when we feel so far away from him? some of us talk about sleepless nights, what if those sleepless nights are him trying to show you that he is really near to you at all times?
sometimes we take what is around us for granted. we have a Bible that is His words telling us what we need to do and how to do it. He tells us that he is near us at all times.
For me I know the feeling of being alone and wishing that everything would stop, but that's what makes it so hard. realizing that we need to not lean on ourselves or on the people around us that help so much. But look at and lean on the person that is unseen to us in that momennt.
God is love, peace and understanding even when we don't understand him. when our words and thoughts are jumbled up and we don't know how to say them, He understands them, and He ANSWERS. but sometimes we are not still enough to listen. we cant hear something that our ears are closed to. Sometimes the answer might not be instant but you need to sit and be quiet and be open to even the hardest things to hear.
God places people around us to help guide us, but thats it. they cant force us to follow His path. We have to want the life that He has created. This life will have struggles but thoes small and large struggles are mercies in disguise.
Take this as a example. 3 yrs ago i lost both of my grandparents and i thought my life would never be the same. I thought God had punished me for something i did that i didn't even know about. But later in the year i was brought to a great church in which i was showed that love was not only in blood family but also in God's family. It opened doors i never dreamed about being opened. It also showed me thst i needed to turn to God and talk to Him and work On that relationship and not try to take everything on my own.He put people in my life that showed the love and compassion i thought i would never feel again.
All the trials that i have been going through and have gone though have all been mercies in disguise and thats something that i see now. God Has to be your first person to call upon when you fall but never forget the People that He has Placed around you.

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

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 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

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 raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?

And what if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win
We know the 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 raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And 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?

And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise?
