Good Morning, God,
Well, Lord, Controller for all weather, we ask that today you turn on the overhead sprinklers! We are dry down here and getting dryer. All that wonderful rain we had earlier in the spring has soaked in and disappeared. We aren't in the Plains States where scorching, dry days are the norm; we are in beautiful southern Indiana where we usually get a nice mixture of rain and sunshine. We need a little more rain, Lord, and we'd give up a little of our sunshine to get it.
Seriously, Lord God of the Universe, who causes your rain to fall on both the "Just and the Unjust," - everybody - we pray this day that you will be generous with your beautiful, bountiful rain. Our crops really need it. Our lakes and reservoirs need to be refilled. Our yards and lawns need a drink, as we seek to keep your world and our little corner of it nice. And, we need the cooling, soothing effect of both the loud, crashing thunderstorms and the gentle, falling rain.
So, Creator God, we ask for the blessing of your rain this day.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
