Rain, umbrella, faith

 Dec 1, 2010

I used to think that after saying a prayer for clear skies and to have faith that the  sky will not rain on an overcast  horizon, one should not bring along an umbrella. It's like it's great faith to expect God to answer our prayers of not sending the rain.

Now, I beg to differ. After we say a prayer for a clear day and if the sky is overcast, we should bring along an umbrella. We should not demand God to answer our prayer by not bringing an umbrella but rather submit ourselves to His will and quietly hope that God will answer our prayers. Maybe some other christian needs the rain on that day in that particular area, who knows? Faith is accepting the sovereignty of God and submitting our will to His will and not about God answering our prayers.
