4 Prayers for Good Weather (with Bible verses)
In our lives, weather is often a taken-for-granted detail until it suddenly isn’t. An unexpected storm can dampen a special event, or a dry spell could threaten a fruitful harvest. When these moments lurk, it’s natural for us as Christians to seek God’s help with prayers for good weather.
With this in mind, here are some prayers for good weather you can say, suited for different situations.
However, please remember: Our prayers for favor should always come from a sincere heart, both in the intention of our needs and our trust in God’s greater will. We must stay rooted in our love for Him and for others (Mark 12:30-31), not to be lost in our own self-serving demands.
