Dear God, I’m coming to you today with my deepest and most heartfelt request. As I watch my husband, the father of our children, and son of many generational farmers before him, laboring day in and day out in the bounties of your creations, tending the fruit of our being and dependent on the nourishment of your heavens, I come to you in yearning, in desperation, to be able to provide for our family and for many others like us to be able to provide for theirs. Dear lord, the dirt in which they till, the land in which they sow, and the life in which they depend, is in desperate need of the enrichment from your skies. I watch as my husband stares helplessly as the leaves of his efforts begin to curl under the hot sun, and the richness of the soil begins to dry up any hope for a promising harvest.
Lord our savior, please provide us with the rains of plenty to nourish the land in which we depend, the foundation of our livelihood, and the hope for the future of our children and so many others like us.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen
