Song · 2011 · Laura Story. Album: Blessings

What if hard times are blessings too? 🙏

Who it's for

Laura Story wrote this after her husband's brain tumor left her caring for him, wrestling with what blessings really look like.

Questioning and weary→Hopeful in hardship

Feelings it meets

What it is

"Blessings" is the lead single from Laura Story's 2011 album of the same name, written by Story alone, against the background of her husband Martin's brain-tumour diagnosis two years into their marriage. The song considers how God allows things that are not immediately understood, and finding meaning in the absence of what one has prayed for.
