A good friend (also a pastor whose days off are midweek) remarked the other night about how much snow and rain we've had on Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning with this past winter. I have no meteorological stats on this and I'm willing to concede that our perspective might be biased - but I think he's right!
Anyway... it brought to mind this prayer I posted last June and it seems appropriate to share it once again.
Rain, rain...
Jesus,
let your healing soak me
like the rain:
your mercy, a heavy downpour,
your reign, a summer shower.
Soak me, drench and all but drown me!
Leave me dripping
with moist anointings
of your touch:
my toes and every inch of me
refreshed and cleansed
in healing showers.
Lift my face to rejoice
in the rain of your love:
let me drink it in
and drink it down,
deeply.
Give me the thirst
that only you can quench
and lead me
by a river of your blessings.
Rain, rain,
rain of my Savior:
oh, never go away...

oh, yes-

I am a person who has a VERY high tolerance for heat and humidity-
and I do like the heat-
but, the rain, especially in the summer, is especially comforting, healing, renewing...
last summer we had virtually NO rain-
and I could not and will not go through another summer like that-
(and I'm not just talking about the rain)
thank you for this rainy day prayer...
