I guess this is why the Lord has us endure hardships, trials and suffering...so that we can hear the beautiful hope of children trusting in their Father...
Praying for you ! No matter what happens in this life God will always be with . No matter how far He may seem away from you, he will never forsake you. This world is broken but He can and promises to make you whole ! I will continue to pray for you Alana
Laura Story has had some tough times. Yet, she can sing this song and praise God with joy and a smile on her face. What a powerful testimony to a fallen world of the greatness of God.
Very powerful song...some times it takes pain in our life for us to realize how much we need him...n some times pain in our life is our turning point of realizing that we are not in control..thank u so much for this humbling song.
I love this song, but after watching this I love her, because you can tell she's real, her goal seems to be God (and not promoting herself) and that is refreshing! Keep on lifting up Jesus, Laura!
What a song - what a message. She absolutely nailed it with that song. Then pushed it over the top w the bridge and the tag. Mmmmm. This girl has experienced pain and suffering and was gifted enough to capture it in a song. So song writer formula in a back room could ever create a song and a message like this. Bless you and see you on the other side one day. Press on
It's often the case that our hearts are open to God only when they are fit to burst with joy or pain. It's then that We remember he is with us. Our savior chose to die on a cross in pain, and through that suffering he gave us life. Our pain humbles us, and through humility We can find grace, and faith, and learn to love like he does.
I love your song laura...May the Lord keep using you in a mighty way through music but most of all my you never lose the annionting...God Bless you.. Elizabeth from Tx
Few years ago I experienced the most horrible situation, but God gave the strengh to go on. I don't know how people face hard moments without faith, without God's love. Thank you Laura Story for this song!
Beautiful.. thanks Lord .. for this beautiful Music.. It touches my heart and I feel you are so Near.. you are the light of my life.. I want to do your will Lord.. Lead me the way you want me to go.. amen..
Perhaps no other song has touched my life like this song has. Purely from the heart of someone who has been through the valley, but has felt the loving touch of His hand. My deepest appreciation Laura for persevering and for sharing with us what the Spirit has revealed to you. Blessings forevermore to you and your precious family.
In a time of great hardship that has been lasting for now 4 yrs, this song comes at a great time for my kids and I. We are grateful for God's blessings and goodness in our lives. We are learning so much through our tears and raindrops. God is good all the time. Thank you for this song! God bless Laura!
Our two kids just did this song last Sunday in church. It has been an incredible song for our family. Our son is playing the guitar and our daughter who is singing was diagnosed at 4 with Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and at 11 diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. So this song has been a REAL BLESSING to us all. THANK YOU SO MUCH for singing this so we can all hear and enjoy! God Bless!
i have been motivated by this song to get my voice back in shape and go back to church-I even got my younger brother interested to sing along on the harmony
I got some potentially devastating news about three months ago, this has been the most difficult time in my life by far. I know no human could survive pain this without God and it turns out that I have never felt so blessed by him through responses to my prayer and encouragement and support he gives me through others. A friend recommended this song to me-thank you Laura-it has a lot of meaning to me. I know my life will be better because of this trial.
I've always felt a deep connection to this song and never understood it. Last year in 2016 my father passed away after having a massive heart attack. A few days later this song came on and I had to pull over because I was weeping. Not to share another "this song got me through xzy story" but it really did. Every time I hear it I remember the pain I went through to stand there at the hospital and watch my own father die. But never before in my entire life had I ever felt God so close to me than when my father died. The pain reminds us heart that this is not our home... the tears I cried were truly healing.
God doesn't CAUSE bad things to happen to us, but he does ALLOW them to happen, even if we are walking with Him. The Bible also says that He redeems for good that which was was meant for evil (Gen. 50:20). I LOVE that! Many things that have happened in my life were meant for evil and God has or is transforming them for my ultimate good and His glory. I choose to continue to believe that he will turn the pain into a blessing because he hasproven so many times before.
I wonder if its just hard to sing it live? I mean, the inspiration for the song alone would make it hard. I just sing it at home and tear up everytime. This song got me through one of the hardest years of my 33 lived. Powerful song.
Thank The Lord for His Servants with beautiful voices and the ability to express in song what those of us who worship Him in Spirit are feeling! And God Bless Those Singing Servants with Strength to continue on! Thank You Laura and family!!!
If I remember right, she wrote this song in the midst of her husband undergoing treatment for brain cancer. She mentioned that sometimes God's blessings comes in God's "detours."
It takes such strength to even try to humble ourselves and offer up our tears in communion as music, as Laura does here. To do so publicly with such touching grace and talent is a marvel. This record of the flow of energy from God, through His dense physical human instrument, and back to God to complete the cycle is a priceless treasure.
This song is so beautiful. I have gone through may painful things in this life, only to come out the side and look back and see that it was God shaping me with the loving hands of an artist as He molds clay and then puts it the fire to make it into something much harder, more durable and more beautiful.
Sometimes you just know when a song was meant for you to hear . . . then you listen and listen and remember that God has not forgotten you. Thank you God, and thank you so very much Laura for being brave enough to sing through your tears and in obedience sing so others can gain strength from God's words through you.
I don't usually post comments on RUclips, but my church tonight did a rememberance of 9/11/2001 and this song was played. It was such a beautiful song and I wanted to seek it out there. While I was sitting there, I was thinking about the lyrics and what happened that terrible day and started getting choked up. Thank you for this song, and putting it on here so I can hear it again. God Bless You all.
I love God and love blessings!!!! Thank You Lord for blessing me, even if it had to be through some of the most painful times of my life. It has made me appreciate this life even more, love this song, and I've now learned how to appreciate the normal day so much more. Thank You, Jesus! :-)
I have been on a roller coaster ride with my 17 year old daughter. She has been depressed for over a year. She has been in at least 5. Nothing has worked. I know that God is there He has never left us. I know one day I will see His blessings for us.
i was going through a hard time with my uncle todayand this song just reminds me that we will suffer for Christ and that our suffering will in the end benefit our ministry to others and ourselves. We will gain perserverance and longsuffering through our pain, so we should rejoice in our suffering because it proclaims the glory of God through it to others. Be glad fellow Christian brothers and sisters. Rejoice, you will partake of the glory in heaven because you partook of the suffering now!
God blesses me each and every day with the best family in the world! I ask myself, "How could i ever thank God enough for being there for me and giving me such a God loving and caring family that each and every one of them is always there for me?" And for my healing from my tumor when i was a baby! Thank you God for healing me and giving me 2 wonderful brothers whose arms to run right into the day i got back from the hospital. You gave me the best brothers a girl could ever ask for!
Super beautiful song to make us think on how many ways God can give us his blessings. It makes us realize that God will always be there and we must not doubt him but instead increase our faith in our father in heaven.
I honestly don't know how people can watch this video and have the audacity to "dislike" it. She has a beautiful voice, and has been through a lot with her husband's health issues. If you don't like people talking about God, move on!
This song inspired me on how important life is especially to God. Everything in the world is a trial to show how we can be faithful to the Lord Jesus/Yeshua. He is our life . let us love Him by loving each other and our lives. No more suicide :'-)
I guess this is why the Lord has us endure hardships, trials and suffering...so that we can hear the beautiful hope of children trusting in their Father...
Laura, your story is truly inspiring to those in need. Thank you for allowing yourself to be used by God through this song.
Praying for you ! No matter what happens in this life God will always be with . No matter how far He may seem away from you, he will never forsake you. This world is broken but He can and promises to make you whole ! I will continue to pray for you Alana
Annointed.........simply annointed! God certainly moves through His people when they completely yield to Him!
Laura Story has had some tough times. Yet, she can sing this song and praise God with joy and a smile on her face. What a powerful testimony to a fallen world of the greatness of God.
wow...close your eyes and just listen to the music...you can feel the love of God..do it.I'm so blessed to hear this song :) God bless everyone.
This is the song that should have been on the Grammy's last night!! Wonderful.
If it was it would not had been a christian song...
Very powerful song...some times it takes pain in our life for us to realize how much we need him...n some times pain in our life is our turning point of realizing that we are not in control..thank u so much for this humbling song.
I love this song, but after watching this I love her, because you can tell she's real, her goal seems to be God (and not promoting herself) and that is refreshing! Keep on lifting up Jesus, Laura!

praise God what a blessing this young woman is to all believers facing adversity.My prayers go out to her husband very inspiring.
the words meant everything to laura these words were for her husband for what he was going through when he had cancer and god helped in all ways
It's often the case that our hearts are open to God only when they are fit to burst with joy or pain. It's then that We remember he is with us.

Sang this song for a friend across the street, and I brought her to tears. She had fallen from god and I had never seen her more happy after that.
More joyful and more connected with God.
I love your song laura...May the Lord keep using you in a mighty way through music but most of all my you never lose the annionting...God Bless you..

I sang this song at chruch and couldn't even get through the last verse...i started to cry. such a moving song.
In a time of great hardship that has been lasting for now 4 yrs, this song comes at a great time for my kids and I. We are grateful for God's blessings and goodness in our lives.

Wow!! Laura Story songs are amazing.!! I found them by typing trials in life!!
an absolutely beautiful expression of dependence and trust upon our Father
i have been motivated by this song to get my voice back in shape and go back to church-I even got my younger brother interested to sing along on the harmony
Ya know, I think we all seem to feel a bit better after a good cry, in some way or another. GOD is so awesome, I wish HE would come back.

So so True, song is truly from the soul of a life of trials and hardships. Yet Christ promise is He will never leave us nor forsake us...
this song i was deepest thought about myself

This song means so much to me! Sometimes God's blessings do come through raindrops and his healing through tears! So beautiful!
This song helps me remember He loves me, good days and bad.

16 thumbs down? How could anyone click a thumbs down on this? Heartless people, if you only knew what she is going through.
I wonder if its just hard to sing it live? I mean, the inspiration for the song alone would make it hard. I just sing it at home and tear up everytime. This song got me through one of the hardest years of my 33 lived. Powerful song.

Blessings is one of my favorite christian songs...!!
I can never get sick of this song :')
This song was sung at my great nephews funeral back in July 2011.He was 5years old and died in an drowning accident.
It takes such strength to even try to humble ourselves and offer up our tears in communion as music, as Laura does here. To do so publicly with such touching grace and talent is a marvel. This record of the flow of energy from God, through His dense physical human instrument, and back to God to complete the cycle is a priceless treasure.
You are not only a very talented Artist, but also a beautiful person....inspiring!

I have gone through may painful things in this life, only to come out the side and look back and see that it was God shaping me with the loving hands of an artist as He molds clay and then puts it the fire to make it into something much harder, more durable and more beautiful.
Laura Story is the real deal.
Sometimes you just know when a song was meant for you to hear . . . then you listen and listen and remember that God has not forgotten you. Thank you God, and thank you so very much Laura for being brave enough to sing through your tears and in obedience sing so others can gain strength from God's words through you.

Super beautiful song to make us think on how many ways God can give us his blessings. It makes us realize that God will always be there and we must not doubt him but instead increase our faith in our father in heaven.
So beautiful. One of my favorites of hers.
God will give us trials as a test of faith. He will put us through the fire so we grow in faith and to keep us out of the fires of hell.
that's great to hear!!!! Congratulations! Just prayed for you!
fabulous! Artful yet simple, profound! love this song!
I honestly don't know how people can watch this video and have the audacity to "dislike" it. She has a beautiful voice, and has been through a lot with her husband's health issues. If you don't like people talking about God, move on!
This song is so sweet.. It makes me cry
This song inspired me on how important life is especially to God. Everything in the world is a trial to show how we can be faithful to the Lord Jesus/Yeshua. He is our life . let us love Him by loving each other and our lives. No more suicide :'-)
