6 a.m. Prayer Call
Focus: Rain
Scripture: Joel 2:23 — “He will cause the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain.”
Rain may make us uncomfortable. It can feel inconvenient, gloomy, or heavy. But just like the earth needs rain in order for things to grow, we also need rainy seasons in our spiritual lives. Those rainy days may look like trials, pressure, disappointment, waiting, or moments when life feels cloudy. Yet we must remember that God knows what He is doing, and all things work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
Without rain, seeds do not become what they were created to be. In the same way, some things in us are only developed through hardship. Our faith grows in rainy seasons. Patience grows while we wait. Character grows under pressure. God uses the rain to unlock what He has placed inside of us.
Rain also washes things away. Spiritually, God may use rainy seasons to cleanse us from pride, distractions, unhealthy relationships, and anything hindering our walk with Him. After the rain, we often see evidence of new life. The grass is greener, flowers bloom, and the harvest begins to come forth.
So don’t overlook the rain. Don’t despise the rain. Embrace it, knowing God is working behind the scenes and on your behalf. Thank God for the rain, because through it He is growing you, cleansing you, refreshing you, and preparing you for the harvest.
