Faith and the umbrella

Dear Faith,

Two days ago I read this short story and it caught my attention.
I would like to share it with you, but maybe you don't understand it now, so I write it here.

Faith and the umbrella
During a time of great drought, the Scottish preacher Dr. Guthrie prayed for rain in the morning service. As he went to church in the afternoon, his daughter, Mary, said, “Here is the umbrella, Papa.”
“What do we need it for,” he asked.
“You prayed for rain this morning, and don’t you expect God will send it?”
They carried the umbrella, and when they came home they were glad to take shelter under it from the drenching storm.

Sometimes we pray and pray, but we are not sure if our prayer will be answered..
We don't prepare our "umbrella"..
We don't have faith..

Faith,
When you pray, please remember to have faith..
When times get though, please remember to have faith..
"You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it." Matt 21:22 (NLT)

Love,
Mama
