Is it wrong to pray for rain

[Ravi]

To alleviate, temporarily, the effects of global warming?

Or is Jesus all like, I tried to warn you to take care of the earth.

 

[Pedro de San Patricio]

No, but it won't do anything. (And I say this as a sky worshipper.)

 

[B. Kidd]

You can pray until your hands have calluses. I'd rather wait until this winter when record rains descend on the west.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

If you don't believe in Him I doubt your prayers will be answered

 

[MeBelle]

What can it hurt?

Native Americans rain dance.

Turning to Native rain dance in time of drought - LA Times

 

[ABikerSailor]

Is it wrong to pray for rain?

Only if you pray for it to rain on your lawn alone.

However................if it's a prayer for rain in your general area, it will benefit others besides just yourself, making it okay to pray for rain for everyone.

 

[B. Kidd]

Wasn't it Pope Francis that said God doesn't consider prayers unless said for the collective?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Been there and done that, He answers prayers

To alleviate, temporarily, the effects of global warming?

Wow! Rain alleviates the effects of global warming!

Perhaps Jesus plans on timing the rapture with when it finally gets too hot from global warming.

 

[KissMy]

It has rained to much here this year. It was so wet that only half the crops got planted, the wheat rotted in the fields & very little hay got cut or baled.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Despicable. Do not listen to this Jesuit Pope. He is a false prophet.

Suppose you have a garden, Ravi. The garden is in need of rain and your water is cut off due to a pipe bursting. You are told it will take weeks for a repairman to come. Can you pray for rain? Of course you can! You do not have to pray for your entire city to have rain! God will answer prayer to meet your need without your asking that it be met for the entire community. The very suggestion that God will not answer a prayer for a single individual is preposterous!! Yes! You can pray for rain! Glory to God!

 

[aris2chat]

you going to dance and play instruments or throw sand into the air to bring about rain?

Watch the weather patterns and see where there is any weather. Some have too much rain, so maybe praying for rain sent it to the wrong place.

Pray for rain? Seriously? Rub a rabbit's foot and pick a four leaf clover as well?

 

[MeBelle]

No, but it won't do anything. (And I say this as a sky worshipper.)

What do you mean by sky worshiper?

 

[Pedro de San Patricio]

No, but it won't do anything. (And I say this as a sky worshipper.)

What do you mean by sky worshiper?

Veneration would probably be a more accurate term. It was there providing for our ancestors before we were born. It will be there providing for our children's children long after we die. Obviously it's not living or sentient in any way but that still merits a respectful attitude.

I asked because many Native American tribes have sky Gods.

Really? Where were these Baal gods of rain when Jezebel and her prophets of Baal needed them? There was a drought in the land of Israel for over 3 years so where were they? Asleep?

No. There is only one God and he is the one we pray to -for all our needs - including rain. The God of Israel - He alone is God.

The very suggestion that God will not answer a prayer for a single individual is preposterous!! Yes! You can pray for rain! Glory to God!

Ravi could pray that her broken pipe gets fixed sooner.
She can self water until the pipe is fixed.

Why wait when she can pray for rain? If she is a born again Christian abiding in Christ? She can ask whatever she will and it shall be done unto her. Jesus said so.

No, but it won't do anything. (And I say this as a sky worshipper.)

What do you mean by sky worshiper?

Veneration would probably be a more accurate term. It was there providing for our ancestors before we were born. It will be there providing for our children's children long after we die. Obviously it's not living or sentient in any way but that still merits a respectful attitude.

I asked because many Native American tribes have sky Gods.

Really? Where were these Baal gods of rain when Jezebel and her prophets of Baal needed them? There was a drought in the land of Israel for over 3 years so where were they? Asleep?

No. There is only one God and he is the one we pray to -for all our needs - including rain. The God of Israel - He alone is God.

and putting naphtha and lime powder on wood might make some believe that water ignites wood spontaneously.

You want rain? go learn how from the UEA. It is very costly but it can be done.

No god, no prayers, just science
