You know sometimes we pray and think, "He probably won't answer this soon but I know He has a good reason." And then last night the thunder peeled and lightning split across the sky. Then we heard...rain.
Rain.
Beautiful buckets of precipitation falling from the sky in answer to my blog-prayer for...rain.
God is so good.
It's such a little thing, an answered prayer. Or is it? To think that in a world of billions he heard me and others with like-minded prayers and answered with a resounding boom across the sky is quite uplifting and confidence building.
What if we all prayed for a country of people and leaders who serve God? What if we prayed for an end to famine? What if we prayed for an end to violence and war?
We do. We pray for those things. Maybe it's just that we're not as united in our efforts; this drought has certainly created a single-mindedness among us.
But for the rain, Lord; thank you. Please send more. Thank you, Lord, for the rain.
Let us learn to be single-minded and united in prayer for the things you wish us to make supplication for.
Amen.
