Desired Prayer

I pray that this can eventually be my prayer. I heard it this afternoon on K-Love while on my way home from getting another round of blood work. Scott was talking about how truly hard this prayer is to truly pray with all your heart. No one likes to go through pain, loss, or any other storms in life, but we are not promised a life without those things. Mercyme is a Christian group that I have loved for a long time, and I've just added this song to my list of favs! I do hope that one day I can sing this song and truly mean every single word.

"Bring The Rain"

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on You, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are such greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
