Do you see that the Governor of Georgia is going to hold a prayer with several church leaders to pray for rain

Question

Is this like a rain dance?
Is it a reminder to their god that they need rain? Are they afraid he's forgotten, or that he might be angry at them and withholding the rain as a form of punishment?

Answer 1

I'll stick my head in Lake Lenier and ask Ordo, the one true god, for some more rain while I'm down there for Christmas.

Answer 2

Just because they sue doesn't mean they will win. The ACLU has defended all sorts of people on all sorts of issues even neocons. Sometimes I agree with them and sometimes I don't. On this one I disagree with the ACLU. I wonder if we had an Indian shaman to dance around rattling a gord and shaking a feather or two it would have been better for them. The fact shows that global warming has hit the South East hard and in desparation people will do anything to get vitally needed water. Whether one believes in a supreme being or not the fact is it couldn't hurt to pray for rain. Nothing else was working. Interestingly, although it wasn't much, after the prayer sesson it did rain. Coincidence? Maybe and maybe not. Is it important? Nope. The fact that Georgia has started seeing water fall from the sky is what is important. What made it do that isn't nearly as important as the rain itself.

Answer 3

The governor of Alabama did that back in July. Oh sure it rained, about 30 minutes of a light shower not enough to make a difference. Then again, the weathermen on all 3 stations had predicted we might get a few showers.

Answer 4

The Bible tells us that where two or more are gathered in agreement then their prayers will be answered. Don't you think that God knows we need rain? If you lived in the shortage area wouldn't you want it to rain? Okay, the only one that can make the rain happen is God. Go figure this:

NO Rain = 0
Need Rain = 0
Pray for Rain = Rain

That mean's to get up off your blessed assurance and ask the only one that can help bring rain to this imparched area for his mercy with humbled hearts.

Answer 5

I have no problem with this. After all, it only makes sense to travel every available avenue, especially in this case, where an entire state is so dry that the first heavy wind will blow most of it into the Gulf of Mexico.

The governor of New Mexico has on occasion sent for the medicine chief of the Sandia Pueblo Indians to have his people perform a rain dance for his state. It works too, every time. Peculiar, that.

Answer 6

And so I prayed for rain. I didn't dance, but asked the Lord for His will to be done to the states of Hawaii, California, Tennessee, and Georgia. I think Hawaii has recently gotten rain.

I think that the 16 kilometer Water Vapor selection is very interesting to look at, don't you?

Answer 7

Same that Locket said. I'm in South Carolina and it's DRY here. My garden didn't make it this summer and we NEED that rain. We're already not allowed to water lawns and are now looking at mandatory household conservation too. Good for the governor thinking of his people and asking for God's help, because we need it.

Answer 8

Well, we are having drought conditions here in N. C. also.
I only wish we had a Governor who had enough faith to pray for rain like the Gov. in Georgia.
I think the prayer idea is a very good one.
More people ought to be doing it.

Answer 9

Hmm, Well, I guess it could be. All i know is they better be specific about the rain. You know how much and all. Otherwise they might get another great flood.

I have reason to worry, I live in Georgia. lol

Answer 10

He justs wants rain. Desperate, understandably. I'll pray for rain, too, actually.
