2 Corinthians 1:3\u00a0 <\/span>3\u00a0Blessed\u00a0be<\/i>\u00a0the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,\u00a04\u00a0who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.\u00a05\u00a0For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.\u00a06\u00a0Now if we are afflicted,\u00a0it is<\/i>\u00a0for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.\u00a07\u00a0And our hope for you\u00a0is<\/i>\u00a0steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also\u00a0you will partake<\/i>\u00a0of the consolation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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\u2019re near? What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?\u201d Singer and songwriter Laura Story wrote these words after her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor. As the couple wrestled with his diagnosis and prayed for healing, Laura expressed her prayers to the Lord through her song, \u201cBlessings,\u201d which has encouraged many others as they walk through trials.<\/p>\n

No matter your trial\u2014illness, unemployment, family struggles\u2014God is still blessing you. The blessing may come through a comforting verse in His Word or through an encouraging card from a friend. It might appear in the unexpected gift from a family member or the worship song sung at church. His blessings are all around us. These small blessings bring great joy to our hearts, but perhaps the greatest blessing we receive during times of trial is the blessing of drawing closer to God. As we trust Him and cling to His promises, our relationship with the Father deepens. What an indescribable blessing! (David Jeremiah)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
