Over the past few months, people throughout Texas have been praying for rain. We have had the worst drought in my lifetime this year. I took the family to Burnett for a “Day out with Thomas” and on the way saw some amazing damage this drought has caused. Here are some images:
These are very small examples of some of the damage. There have been hundreds of fires all over Texas, and as a result of this horrible drought, there has been a surge of prayer at church, schools, rallies, and in homes all across Texas for rain. There was the prayer event in Houston inspired by the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, and now I believe we are truly witnessing an answer to prayer. The Bible has many examples of God’s people praying for rain and it’s very clear in Zechariah 10:1 Who sends rain. We’ve had modest amounts of rain over the past month but are in desperate need for more and theres some promising chances of rain in the forecast so please pray with me for Texas – that God sends thunder clouds full of rain! Thank You LORD for Your Grace!
“Jesus bring the rain!” that’s a good song ain’t it? Maybe some inspiration for the next recording…
I flew over much of the scorched land south west of Dallas as we came back from LA. It really is amazing what happens when we go without water… What happens to a man without the living water? Don’t mean to make the “turn or burn” allusion (that I hate,) but there’s a picture to reach out to people with… In a gentle way of course!
Agreed. Can’t imagine what it looks like from the sky. Thanks for the comment dude!
