Our crops are hurting from lack of rain. Can you please pray that the Lord will send us some?

Thank you.
 
Perhaps we could pray for the intercession of St Isidore the Farmer?

**Prayer to Saint Isidore the Farmer **

Dear Isidore, you know how normal it is to cultivate the land for you were employed as a farm laborer most of your life. Although you received God’s help materially through Angels in the field, all farmers are aided spiritually to see the wonders God has strewn on this earth. Encourage all farmers in their labors and help them to feed many people. Amen.

Wow, guys, thanks! I just found out that a front is heading towards us! Keep it up!
 
Thank you for the prayers. We did get a little bit of rain last night, but we could us a lot more. Please continue praying!

I am also praying for your intentions, also.
 
In Ireland we have had rain for the past 50 days every day so I am praying for Sun.
 
Praying for rain, where it is needed… and sun, where it is needed. 🙂
 
We can spare it - may it be headed your way soon to provide good crops to all.
 
I’d appreciate it if those praying for rain would include the Desert Southwest in their prayers. Where I live we have had only three inches of moisture since New Years…:gopray2:
 
Lord, take the rain you give us with abundance and share with my family in need of this blessing. You heard our prayers to end our dry spell. Please share the grace of your blessed bounty.
 
Our crops are hurting from lack of rain. Can you please pray that the Lord will send us some?

Thank you.
I pray you get some rain, and I pray it stops where I live, we could sell it, while your crops are failing without rain, ours are because there’s too much, how ironic…:crossrc:
 
Please pray for us for rain too. We are 11 inches below normal for the year and farmers are hurting. We had a bad cold snap around Easter that seriously damaged early crops and now the drought is damaging the summer crops. They had to close the beaches at the local lakes and the river is down. We really need a good long rain.
 
The entire west in in need of rain, California & Nevada are having terrible fre seasons. I will join you in prayer fo rain.
