Prayer For Refreshing Rain

O God, Creator of all that there is whose wisdom is beyond our understanding; Hear our humble prayers for the gift of refreshing rain to save our crops and help our nation to provide food for your children around the world.  We confess that we simply don't understand the mystery of your ways - your wisdom is too great for our minds to comprehend, but if this drought is meant to awaken us to our sins leading to global warming, then help your people learn this lesson and change their ways before we ruin the earth for human habitation!  The few of us who have been warning against our wasteful life style which ignores the balance of nature, cannot change the life-style of people around the world.  Show us ways to get their attention and show us ways to live a more harmonious life with our world and with one another.  We implore you to have mercy on those who are impacted by this drought, the young and the innocent, and those of us who are trying to "live green!"  Send us refreshing rain, O God of Love.  We ask it in the name of Jesus.  Amen.
