The Abundance of Rain

Good morning

Scripture: 1 Kings 18:41-46

Worship song: Let It Rain

Meditation:

    Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and heaven gave rain. Elijah had prayed the drought into existence. Now, it was time for the drought to end. He began to petition the God of the universe for rain. Not a little rain, but enough rain to quench the thirst of the land. After Elijah's seventh request, there came an abundance of rain. His earnest and sincere prayer for rain was heard, and God answered by sending rain upon the land. Elijah prayed until he received an answer. What might be your request today? Are you experiencing a drought or a dry season? Let your request be known to God; He still answers prayer. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 

Let us pray:

    Eternal Father, ruler of heaven and earth, how excellent is your name in all the earth?Almighty God, at the mention of your name, principalities and powers are subdued. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsted for thee; my flesh longed for you, O God, in this dry and thirsty land. This morning, Father God, I ask for the outpouring of the latter rain upon all your people. Whatever drought we are experiencing in this dry season, whether it be spiritual or physical, we ask that you release rain upon us, O God, Holy Ghost fire to quench our thirsty souls. Send forth rain, O God, to saturate our parched spirit. Abba, Father, we believe in you and confess that you are God; we reconcile and turn from our selfish, sinful ways and our self-righteous will. Father, in the desert, in the wilderness, we cry unto you, O God, to have mercy. Afflicted and wounded, we seek after you and look to you, O God, to heal us spiritually and physically. Father, we look to you, O Lord, to fulfill your promise in us. Open the floodgates of heaven and rain upon us, O God, reign in our lives in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. 

Have a blessed and peaceful day. Keep safe. 💕
