Praying Through the Rain

Dear Lord,

Last night was a night for the books.  After dinner, the girls went and played in the rain and flooding water that middle Tennessee was pounded with over the last few days.  They had a blast.  This was followed by hot showers and a few rounds of "HiHoCherry-O" with daddy.  They were happy and they were full of laughter.

I pray that they always find that opportunity, that blessing, that the rain brings.  I know it's cliche to say don't stay out of the rain, instead learn to dance in it, but it's true.  It takes a special kind of person to do something about the situation that they're handed.  I pray that they always keep that state of mind.

Lord, I pray that when the waters get high and the currents get rough, that they find a way to face it head-on.  I pray that if they can't figure it out on their own, that they know they can with You. Prayer is always a powerful thing, not something meant to be a backup plan.  I pray that they know to pray for everything and through everything.

Also, if somehow my prayers aren't flooding your space right now, I'd also like to pray for Devin Bond and his family.  For those of you who aren't aware of him or his story, he is a local young man that went missing from Murfreesboro, TN in March of 2016.  His mom created a  Facebook Group to update on the current information in hopes that one day he will be found.  I pray that his mom never gives up hope and that one day Devin will come home.


In your Son's name,

Amen.
