It's Pouring

Ask rain from the LORD...

          Zechariah 10. 1

 

(Did I even consider asking

           the LORD

about this situation,

about my need,

about what to do?

Did it even occur to me

       to come to Him?

God shows us how to walk with Him

   even in a drought.

God knows what we need,

   and that would be Him.

Ask for rain, pray to God Almighty,

  and carry a big umbrella.)

O LORD,

You have given us each

   a patch of ground

   on which to be faithful to You.

Nourish us,

nurture us,

help us to grow.

Grant to us the courage

   to ask You

        for what we need.

And the wisdom

   to know it is from You.

We are parched

    because we do not ask.
