Our verse for today is Psalm 55:17
“Evening, morning, and noon, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.”
I was a teenager when I first heard the story of the little girl with an umbrella that showed faith. Let me tell it to you:
There was a little west Texas farming community that was going through a great drought. Their fields were drying up and their crops were dying. As a last ditch effort the little community decided to get together at 8 PM at the local church and prayer for rain.
At 8 o’clock the church was full.
The last person to enter the building was a little 7-year-old girl. As she walked down the aisle she was carrying an umbrella. As she walked past some of the older folks, someone said, “Isn’t she cute? She thinks it is going to rain.”
I love her umbrella. It showed her great faith. She believed that prayer brought results. After all, Jesus said, “Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)
The lesson is, when you pray, bring your umbrella.
