 They say we have a drought, so we prayed and the Lord answered our prayers. The prayer for rain was inspired by the story of Prophet Elijah in the bible, who prayed for rain and the Lord honoured his prayer. Now let's be clear on one thing, though Elijah's story was our main inspiration, it was God who made it rain. Likewise, it was God who left us the story of Elijah in the scriptures so that we can gain inspiration to do the unthinkable.
Some may take the rain for granted, but a drought is no joke, neither are bushfires. For this reason, we say: "Thank you Lord for letting it rain. May you continue to give us rain in due season. For you Lord, are the one who gives rain both to the righteous and the unrighteous. 'This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.' - Psalm 118:24 -  If anyone got the recent phone alert on 14th Aug 2026 regarding preventing fire hazards due to the increasing heat wave, you would realise the importance of the rain. Whilst the alert has since disappeared, the main takeaway from it is this: there is a drought and we need the Lord to give us rain.  If there is no water, there is no life. It's why we must pray for the Lord to rain over our land. The bible says in James 5:16 that, 'The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.' - James 5:16, New Living Translation - So, here is a prayer you can say for our land, to the God who, 'sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.' - Matthew 5:45, New International Version - Father God, Bless our land with rain, so that our land can flourish and produce fresh pastures. Thank you Lord for answered prayers, in Jesus name, Amen.  We say this prayer in accordance to God's word which says to, '‘Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone.’ - Zechariah 10:1, New International Version -  Even though it's Summer, this prayer still applies because he is the God of all seasons and he will hear the righteous prayers of those who earnestly seek him. God is so generous, he hasn't withheld the rain from those who are unrighteous. He provides the rain generously for the benefit of everyone and will hear the prayers of the righteous when they pray according to his will.
Stay blessed and keep on praying! |
