Jeremiah 14:22 says Are there any among the false
gods of the nations that can bring rain?
Or can the heavens give showers? Are you not he, O Lord our God? We set our hope on you,
for you do all these things.
It’s funny.
When our nation is in a severe drought, even those who don’t usually
pray say that we need to pray. When there’s
a tragedy of untold proportions where many die at the hand of a crazy person,
the newscasters will ask the viewers to pray.
And when we sit beside the bed of a dying loved one, we all pray.
Prayer is something that innately occurs when we
realize that there is no one but God who can intervene in some situations. We can’t make it rain, we cannot cause the
sun to rise or the moon to appear in the night sky. We alone cannot even breathe – for He is the
breath of life.
There is no one else, no other thing, and no
other hope but God.
And in Him we should believe and hope, because He
loves us, and it’s his good pleasure to hear our cries and answer.
Set your hope on him, for he does great things
for you and yours.
