Heavenly Father, we are in need of rain. The soil of our fields is dry and hard, our grains and pastures are parched, our gardens and orchards are parched. We recognize and admit our total dependence upon you. It is only from your heavens that the rain comes down and does not return there until it has watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to those who sow and bread to those who eat. With confidence in your providence and with trust in your Fatherly care, we humble and earnestly ask that you, Father, send life giving rain upon our fields and pastures that our crops may grow and our livestock may increase; protect them from hail and storm. We ask all this through your son Jesus who lives and reigns with you forever and ever. Amen.
