2 Chronicles 6:27 ~ grant rain upon your land

2 Chronicles 6:27

27 then hear in heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and grant rain upon your land, which you have given to your people as an inheritance.

My husband, Edward, had a first today. He had to consult http://ticc.tamu.edu/Response/FireActivity/ before driving to see a client today.

You'd think with the video, the verse - we'd be seeing fire or smoke in the sky. No. Travel on nearby highway 105 and I-45 has been stopped in places. I've probably read too many historical novels about great fires, but decided it would be a good thing to ask for prayer for our area of Texas.

Good news - we have the first 40% chance of rain since January this week and the postman said it was sprinkling on him in the last neighborhood. When I asked for prayers via Scripture for Today Blogspot last time - we had 4 good showers. On FB one Church friend is praying for her sister who was evacuated. Another reports his suburb in Houston had evacuations. And ... it is only June.

Father God, We look for Your great mercy. Remember the welcome given to the Hurricane Katrina evacuees. Remember this Easter, the huge public worship of 2nd Baptist giving shoes and dancing for You. See the people in the large city and smaller towns asking You for Your help. We ask for the humidity over the Gulf of Texas to bring us soaking showers for at least then next 3 months. Speak the Word, Lord, we ask in the name of Jesus. Your will be done. Amen.
