I Prayed for Snow
I know it's not very theological. I'm not quite sure there's any spiritual reason for it. But this morning when I heard there was a chance of a wintry mix (translated - we don't really know what form the precipitation will take) I prayed that the God who controls the weather would providentially bring snow to us. And for a night, He did. I've been looking out the window enjoying this rare treat all night. Every 10 minutes or so I get up, walk to the window, turn the light on outside and watch it fall. There's anticipation every time b/c these things usually last about 10 minutes here and then turn to cold rain or worse, ice. I don't recall a Bible passage with a prayer like this. I'm a pastor and I'm not sure this falls in the realm of "things we ought to pray for." But I did nonetheless. I actually prayed for about 6-12 inches. It's not looking like that will happen, but you never know. If I wake up and see it, I will not be surprised. If I wake and it's just small patches of snow and sleet I will not be surprised. Either way, God answered my prayer and for a night I will enjoy it.
