Again the prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.” (James 5:17,18) He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. We pray You will help us find a small measure of the faith that James spoke of in the Bible when he said, “Elijah was a man just like us. We need water to drink, water to grow our food and rain for the fields and forests to prevent destructive fires. Yet in times of drought we realize how utterly dependent we are on You to meet our basic need for life-giving water. We confess that we often live our lives under the false illusion that we are independent and can provide for ourselves. Prayer for Rainĭear Creator of the World, We pray for asking for your mercy and favor for those places on Your good earth in need of your nourishing, healing rain. Here is a prayer for rain that can be used individually or can be used in church services or prayer groups. Praying for rain is very Biblical because Israel depended greatly on the usual arrival of the winter and spring rains to grow their crops in a semi-arid climate.
