Description 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
And all the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause 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're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel you near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if each promise from Your Word is not enough
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

Cause 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're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win, we know
That pain reminds this hearts,
That this is not, this is not our home.....
It's not our home

Cause 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're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

What if my greatest disappointments,
Or the aching of this life,
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy.
What if trials of this life,
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise?

*Note: Yiruma's "Kiss the Rain" also help inspired this piece.

For me, this piece is a great way to symbolize the struggle most LGBT people go through. I really don't know what the big problem is, as I am a straight man and I support the PRIDE movement. I always say, "If you're gay or bisexual, that's fine."

On another note, this piece of art is very well done. It has the nice and natural feel of human hands, even if it was done by computer. The song choice is a great one as well. It's one of those few songs which, in my opinion, expresses the truth of friendships and relationships, alonside "Broken Mirror" by Boom Boom Satellites and others I could name.

In short, great job, and keep up the good work.

Hmm... I think part of the big problem is that gay people grew up in a "straight world". If you're gay or bisexual, or straight that is fine, but it seems like when we finally identified ourselves, are we still able to find love is the thing.

Thank you Lynx, for me personally it's trying to relate to people (i.e: my family who hasn't really accepted this as part of me, for people in the past who were my friends but relations turned sour, and trying to find allies that I can relate to), but I guess that's not really different for even for the non-LGBT population.

Again, thank you Lynx, and your words will be taken to heart
