Rain

Dear Lord,
Thank you for rain. You send rain to parch our thirsty souls. You send down the waters of baptism so that we might not dry up, but rather will have life, and have it abundantly. The waters soak us to the core, filling up those empty spots that cause us sorrow and grief. The waters change us, transform us, wash us clean so that we might start again in you. We see the waters, we know the waters, and while we fear our abilities to swim in them, we trust and love you for them. Teach us to swim, to bathe and play in them, to treasure the moments we have with you. Teach us to be holy as you are holy, to see this world as you do, through the lens of Christ Jesus our Lord. You are an awesome God, and the living waters, those waters that fill us forever, sustain us day by day, and amaze us with each breath.
Amen.
