More Lord!

We have not had significant rain in almost a month it seems. The last couple of days we have this overcast weather with a little bit of drizzle not amounting to much more than a tenth of an inch of rain according to my rain gauge. I mean if it is going to rain it mind as well rain. It is frustrating. I find myself asking "More Lord!" More rain!!

More Lord! is also a prayer for our spiritual lives. I think God delights in this prayer. During seasons of blessing, intense times of vision, during periods of personal and communal transformation- the prayer should be more Lord! More of you, more of your love, more of your presence, more of your vision, more of your Holy Spirit, more Lord!

When God is pouring out his blessing and anointing our prayer should not just be for a trickle, or drizzle but the full onslaught of a torrential downpour. Not a sprinkle but a fountain. God delights in pouring out his blessing. Might we pray again and again: More Lord! More Lord!
