Ask rain from the LORD

    in the season of spring rain,

from the LORD

       who makes the storm clouds,

and He will give them

              showers of rain,

to everyone

    the vegetation in the field.

                  Zechariah 10. 1

(Did it even occur to me

     to ask God about that?

To ask from Him

    His way in this,

    His provision,

    that which only He can do?

The LORD provides rain

   in unexpected ways

and in the most unlikely places.

God brings forth fruit in its time.

Our prayers and His provision

   impact more than we can count,

   even those we do not yet know

and those who do not yet know Him.

Ask rain from the LORD.)
