Prayer for the gift of rain, people affected by drought, & Support Services

Eternal God,

 In wisdom and love you created our earth to sustain us and give us life.

We turn to you now in faith, hope and love, asking you to look with favour on our drought-stricken land, 

on our starving animals, on our falling crops.

 Strengthen, sustain and give new heart to our farmers 

and to all who are affected by drought; be with those who support them.

 In your loving providence, send abundant rain and restore our parched earth.

Father of all compassion, hear our prayer through Jesus Christ your Son, in whom the promise of new life has dawned, 

and through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life; 

Renew your faithful people; Renew the face of the earth.

 Our Lady of the Southern Cross,

Mary, help of Christians 

Pray for us.
