Jesus bring the rain

If that's what it takes to praise you. Does my heart really mean that? I want to, but faced with trials do I praise Him when the rain comes. This song has been on repeat for the last week. You see, those trials are here. My husband, the sole bread maker for this family of 7 got laid off. Rewind 2 months ago. I had been praying about some things put on my heart. I remember telling God whatever it takes. YIKES! I see, even right now, how God may be answering. Not what I expected, but would I have it any different. I mean why would I not praise Him right now. I'm excited to see what the Lord is going to do with this! Will we move, will we not. Do I home school, do I not. Right now maybe it's easy... we have food, a roof over our heads, amazing friends and family praying. Maybe the real trial hasn't happened yet. Will I be found praising Him when I don't know where our next meal will come from or when unemployment doesn't cover the rent. I HOPE and PRAY that YES I WILL! The lyrics to this song say it all...

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 clouds that may
loom above because you are much greater than
my pain you who made a way for me suffering
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain
