Emphasis Preaching Journal

Television interviewer and journalist, Larry King, describes three farmers who gather daily in a field during a horrible drought. The men are down on their knees, looking upward, and praying the skies will open and pour forth a much-needed rain. Unfortunately, the heavens are silent, and the petitioners become discouraged, but they continue to meet every morning to lift up their request to God.

One morning a stranger approaches and asks the men what they are doing. They respond, "We're praying for rain."
