There’s a song called “Blessings,” by Laura Story. In it, she sings, “What if trials of this life are your mercies in disguise?” Man, there is power in those lyrics. Faith allows us to put things into context. God is in control of this story, not us. And that’s discomforting to many. But it’s only discomforting if you don’t believe. God will not protect us from what He can perfect us through. There will be trials. We will endure challenges. But these things are much easier to handle when you know that everything happens according to His will and that for everything, there’s a purpose.
