Prayer for Rain

Image
Gracious Provider, Thank you for the beautiful world that you have created for our pleasure. You, God, cause the wind to blow and the rain to fall as a blessing to bring life and healing to the Earth. Right now, our land needs the rain, Lord. We acknowledge the limits of our technology; our irrigation systems are insufficient for the needs of our land. Today, I ask you to send your healing rain to nourish the ground and cool the atmosphere. Send us the long soothing rain that we remember from our childhood. Send your restorative rain that our lives and souls may be nourished and that we may find prosperity among the showers. Amen

Fill me with your spirit that I can imitate the example of your Son and live my time on Earth connected to you. Amen

Loving God Today we remember Your gentleness You have shown love and mercy to all mankind and have sent your Son to save us from our sins.

October Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank you for the wonderful blessings that you have given to me in September. As I enter this month of October, I beseech you that you may send your word to us that we may become better communicators. So many problems in our world stem from misunderstandings. Help us to be open to dialogue with persons of different beliefs and cultures even when we are convinced that they are wrong. Help us to be open and honest about our feelings and help us to see when we are being prejudiced or selfish. Help us not be dismissive to the needs of others and help us to set aside our self-interest in favour of understanding the pain of other people. Amen
