I Look to YOU
Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
I can so identify with the words to the song…” I Look to You” (see link below)
Being born with a birth defect, and a young age being diagnosed with a crippling disease, I have fought a struggle my entire life, feeling that I don’t quiet measure up to others. But over the years filled with silent pain and sorrow, I’ve learned to turn it all over to God and simply trust Him, believing He does not make mistakes. Through it all I have learned to wait upon the Lord, knowing He will faithfully see me through all the struggles I may face in life.
No, life has never been easy, but I have more blessed hope than ever before that God will somehow be glorified through it all! At the dawn of each new morning, I continue to press on into the heart of my Heavenly Father, taking one day at a time. I have learned to accept myself just as I am. I surrender all my flaws & my infirmities, my health, my family, all into the hands of My Almighty Creator. I have pushed past all the hurts & disappointments of life as my heart overflows with a love and adoration for my Lord! Oh yes, I will always learn from my past, but with a strong determination I will continue to look ahead to the Author & Finisher of my faith, pressing onward to be the Servant He has chosen me to be!
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Yes…Even in the midst of the Storm!! (2 Tim 1:7)
I pray the words I share here on Healing Rain to the Nations continue to give you encouragement and a strong determination to keep pressing onward! I’ve posted below a beautiful song by Selah that pretty well describes my journey. I hope this song blesses you as much as it does me. Remember…You are Loved!

“I Will Sing”
Oh Lord, I will lift my voice and sing about your strength and rejoice in your love every morning! For YOU are so very faithful to me! It’s under Your Wing where I find refuge and safety when the seams of life begin unraveling! When my heart is breaking in all my suffering, at times I become so overwhelmed. But I know in my heart that I can run to You and find peace of mind and comfort for my soul. For there in Your loving presence I find strength for today and a bight hope for all my tomorrow’s. For O Lord, You are a Shield About Me; My Glory, and the Lifter up of My Head….My reason to SING!

“I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble”. Psalm 59:16
“Be still & know that I Am God”
written by Sandy Blaser, HRN
Those words are ever so dear to my heart….
When I was very sick in bed in Texas, I got a call from Missouri that my Mother had broken her hip. Due to an illness I was unable to travel, so my precious family in Missouri stood in for me. But yet my ole heart was so broken that I could not be there for for my Mom at such a time as this. I was so weak, there was nothing I could do. So as I lay on my bed, I grabbed my Bible for reassurance and began crying out to my Lord. And there in the midst of all my fretting I heard these words spoken very clearly…”Be still & know that I am God”!!
Suddenly my room was bathed in such peace and comfort. I felt as if someone had just covered me with a soft, warm blanket, just like my Momma used to do when I was sick. And there wrapped in God’s love, I began to simply trust in Him, releasing my sweet Mother into His hands.
My Momma came through surgery & recovery beautifully, for the Lord was in the midst of it all! Later I was able to make the flight to Missouri and be by her side as she went though months of Therapy. During all of Mom’s Therapy Sessions, she had so much jOy! And I shall never forget how she ended every exercise saying…”One more for the Lord”!!

A Promise to You
Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Yes, we all have flubbed up in our past in some way or another. But, thank God, every day is another opportunity for a “do over”! The enemy wants us to be bound by un-forgiveness, live in regret and shame, but God gives us confidence and strength to move forward with purpose and destiny!
Cry out to the Lord for HE is ever so near! And HE desires to be not only Your Saviour, but also Your Healer & Your Deliver! Just simply place all your cares into HIS hands… and let go!! Just know in your heart that God is working in your life, even when you don’t see it. He promises…HE will never leave you, nor will HE ever fail you! You will find that when your faith and trust is in HIM, an unexplainable joy and peace will flood your soul, allowing HIM to work in your life in unimaginable ways!
READ His promise to you….
But now, this is what the Lord says—HE who created you, Jacob, (your name) HE who formed you, Israel (your name): “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I WILL be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior… “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland… Do not be afraid, I am with you!!! (Isaiah 43)

God of Wonders — by Third Day
A Childlike Trust
When darkness hides my senses and seems I’ve lost my way, as HIS Child, I know to run into the Ark of Safety, into the arms of my Heavenly Father! For it’s there close to HIS heart I find great comfort & peace from the wilds of this ole world.
You see, it’s through disappoints of life, I have learned to simply trust in Christ alone. No matter how bleak my circumstances may seem, I know I must surrender “my will” and rest in the fact that HE has a perfect plan for my life. I can honestly say…my GOD has never failed me, nor disappointed me!! In this journey of life I will forever cling tightly to my Father’s Word and His promises, knowing in my heart that He has everything under control. As I confirm my ever abiding love and trust in HIM, my God is so very faithful to sooth the hurt, calm the Spirit and refresh the soul.
No, I may not always understand the why’s or why not’s of life. But this one thing I do know…no matter what the outcome, I am God’s Child and HE cares about me deeply and desires HIS best for His children!
So if you are in the midst of enduring suffering and disappointment, may you remember this one thing: God created you for His Glory and desires a personal relationship with you. I pray that you too will come to experience this child-like Faith and trust in Jesus Christ, to comfort you and bring you through the darkest moments of life!
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You“. Isaiah 26:3
I am reminded of this beautiful old song posted below….“Oh for the Grace to Trust Him more”!!

“Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus”
“Change”
Written by ~Sandy Blaser
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
(Ecclesiastes 3)
Ever catch yourself thinking… ”Nothing ever stays the same”? How true! We live in a world of “Change”. The evidence of change is all around us: Spring becomes Summer … Summer becomes Fall…Fall becomes Winter…Winter becomes Spring. Nothing stays the same! New birth begins…young become aged…new becomes old…old passes away. The Weaker become stronger…the stronger become weaker, etc.
Sometimes change can be exciting or may even be downright scary at times! But, God has a purpose in all things… “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
Change is definitely a part of life and can be quite good! It stretches and challenges one, causing our faith to grow through trials and tribulations of life. We as Christians go through some of the greatest changes.First we are blind…now we can see; we were dead…but now alive! And in all our sinfulness, God continues to change our hearts, our attitudes, and our desires. But there is one thing we can always count on…GOD is unchangeable! HIS love is everlasting to everlasting! HIS Word and HIS Promises are “Yes & Amen”!!
So no matter how uncomfortable change may be, let us make the best of each season of our lives. Remember God has made everything beautiful in His time. Everything has its purpose, even the dark cold winter storms that bring torrential rains. Sometimes we must wait with patience for the full disclosure of God’s divine intervention. But even in those times let us learn to simply trust in Him. After all, He knows our lives from the beginning…. to the end.

Experiencing Deep Love
written by:Sandy Blaser, HRN
Over the past years I have had some very agonizing moments that just shattered my dreams to splinters. If I would have chosen to focus on those issues, I really believe I would not be alive this very moment.
As I lay crushed beneath satan’s deadly blow, I began hearing the gentle beckoning of my Saviors voice, calling me to come deeper with Him. As He drew me to His side, the world and all its cares seem to melt away. My Lord began pouring His liquid love over my deep bleeding wounds of sorrow, brokenness, pain & despair. With time, there in His healing presence I began finding release, forgiveness and restoration.
As I felt Him gently raising me up in His healing hands, I began sensing His comforting peace & His strength upholding me, enabling me to stand steadfast in Faith once again!! Then suddenly I began experiencing my joy being restored beyond all measure! And from deep within my spirit cries out…”Oh God, may this trial somehow bring Glory unto You”!
Now as I pause and look back over the deep dark chasm the Lord rescued me from, my spirit rejoices! It is there in the valley I found a powerful love that has enabled me to arise to new heights! As I stand tall on mountains of faith, I can now look beyond the peaks and the valleys into the land of promise that lies before me!
I find this journey toward Home is filled with many mountains & valleys. But no matter how rough or smooth the path may be, I will continue to shout it loud and clear, “Through Christ alone I am a victorious Over-comer”!! Oh yes, this world may be very cruel at times and no one likes to go through trials & temptations, be we have the assurance, we do not travel this way alone! So, not ‘if’ but ‘when’ there is a storm on your horizon, I pray you will quickly run to the arms of Jesus as you hear Him calling…”Come Deeper”!! For deep is His love for you!!!
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3

Under His Wing
Written by :Sandy Blaser, HRN
He will cover me with His feathers, and under His wing I will find refuge! Even in the midst of a ragging sea, even when torrential rain is lashing down upon me, even when the heavy pressures of this world is pushing me to my knees, yet will I boldly stand on my Gods promises and worship Him alone!! My faith and trust in my Savior has been tried & tested and cannot be shaken! For He is ever so faithful to keep my feet on solid ground, even when all else is crumbling around me! So I wait in complete dependence and trust in Him, knowing that I was created with a divine purpose and all my tomorrows are in His hands!
“Abide in the shadow of His wings”. (Ps 91:1)
He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection (Psalm 91:4)
