Rachy's Prayer

What a beautiful week we have had here. And it is capped off with 56 degrees today! Wooo Wooo... Spring is around the corner... at least it feels that way. But they tell us (I'm not sure who they is... but this is what they say)that we are in for another cold spell. Well at least the nights are gonna be pretty cold. 30's - 40's throughout the day but only in the teens - 20's at night - that is pretty chilly!

As I was thinking about the weather turning it just happened that Tam sent out, in her daily devotional, a poem that I had written a few months ago. We were about to be inundated with a huge storm, and the addition still wasn't totally 'in the dry' yet. On top of it all, there were going to be high winds accompying this storm. We don't much care for strong winds after the tornado we had last summer!

Well, I was showing Rachy (Our 4 year Old Daughter) the storm on the screen of my computer... and she said "Daddy, This storm isn't going to hit us at all." Well she just stopped and prayed, and thanked YHWH for keeping us safe. I monitored the storm until the wee hours in the morning and sat in amazement as I saw the tempest simply split in half.. going to our north and to our south... Totally around us. Well I sat here at my desk and wrote a poem about it.. with tears streaming down my cheeks. I thought that I would share it with those of you not on Tam's Email list...

Last night as my baby girl lay down to sleep
She prayed to YHWH our home safe to keep
"Please don't allow this storm that's outside
Come near us, please don't let it with us collide."

"I know precious Daddy that you'll hear my prayer
With Your mighty power this big rain you'll steer
Away from the animals, our home, and our land
You'll keep it away with the strength of Your Hand!"

Well I'm here to share my little one's plea
For YHWH does hear these wee prayers you see
YAH turned the rains North and then East to confound
Put HIS hand in the midst as it parted around.

A channel in the tempest a bit to the South
Opened wide like that prayer filled my little girl's mouth
The storms all about us, they just let us be
For YAH parted them as HE parted the Sea.

You don't have to be Moses to have YAH hear your prayer
You don't have to worry, you don't have to care...
Just ask of Your Father, HE'll not allow harms
Simply ask like a child and then sleep in HIS arms!

Be Blessed and Stay Above The Storms of Life!
