Lyrics are comforting from the song, Blessings by Laura Story:

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 . . .
