Ask rain from the LORD...

             Zechariah 10. 1

(Did it occur to me

to seek God about this?

I cannot tell Him what to do

or how to do it

or when

or where,

but I can pour out my heart

                  before Him,

listen

        and respond.

God does not just

 meet us in our point of need,

but He walks with us

   through the difficulties

   and the flourishing.

Sometimes we just

           need to get

to the other side of the drought

    to realize His provision,

    to see His hand,

    to grasp His Presence,

to come to a deeper dimension

                    of His grace.)

O LORD,

You are our help.

You are our hope,

  in Whom we stake our lives.

Help us to come before You,

help us to walk with You

    and not run ahead,

even into the unknown,

even into what

           we think we know.

May we be faithful to You,

   to bless You,

   to bring You glory,

even in asking for rain.

You know what we need

     even more than we know.

We need You.
