Georgia Gov. to Pray for Rain ...?

Question

It WILL eventually rain. So, will that be a miracle? What if it doesn't happen for weeks? Will that mean God is considering the request. LOL!

Answer 1

people always turn to truth in time of need

you don't see him praying to Allah? or Buddha? or Mohammad?

Jesus is the only God

Answer 2

The point of the prayer was not that it would eventually rain. The point was that it would rain soon and end the drought. I don't think anyone praying was praying for rain to happen weeks later. So, I would definitely expect rain to happen in a matter of a few days. Oh, wait a minute. I just heard on the news that it has already begun to rain. Well, there you have it. I guess God did more than just consider the request. He granted it.

Answer 3

The fact is people are ridiculing the Governor for taking a chance on divine intervention and none of the critics have any other solutions. Ridicule all you want Georgia still needs rain and unfortunately there's nothing any of its residents can do about it. The good thing is there's a 60% chance of rain for tonight in Northern Georgia. Thank God for that.

A little faith and request to God won't hurt anyone one. It might just help....by 60%. lol :)

I've learned that someone elses myth is someone elses fact.

My fact: God controls the rain and only by His allowance will Georgia get rain. Thank God for those who believe in Him to pray on Georgia's behalf. (This is obviously your myth.)

Your fact: There is no God. It's stupid to pray for rain. But yet I don't think it's stupid that my ancestors are monkey's and they evolved from rock particles. (This is obviously my myth.)

Time alone will tell what is truth and what's not. For your sakes, I hope your right. For my sake I hope your wrong...

What could you advise guy do to make it rain- seed clouds, do an previous Apache rain dance? guy can no longer make it rain- do Atheists have faith they could? i don't be attentive to why Atheists could be mad regarding the advice to wish for rain. What ,they could rather die of thirst than admit that there is a ability extra beneficial than themselves that should deliver rain? they are silly lot certainly to have faith that they are all there is and that there is not any longer something interior the international or previous extra effective than a man or woman. LOL ( guy that got here from apes is the main effective entity interior the Universe- if i'm incorrect and atheist are precise there is not any longer somewhat some evaluate praying for rain or doing plenty else jointly as your alive- this is all in favour of naught) guy hasn't made it rain yet- in line with possibility God can. It in no way hurts to objective something new- each from time to time you definately'll study something new from it.

Answer 5

Gov. Sonny needs to pray harder then any other person in the state of Georgia. He is the one that has made these problems bigger then what they could have been. He could have stopped GROWTH and stop wasting tax payers money on commericals that are asking everyone to pray and save water. Everything happens for a reason . I pray everyday not just one day after its long past due.

Answer 6

I think all the Pagans on here need to help the Georgia Gov out by performing the following:

Calling Rain

All you have to do is go outside and look into the skies and chant these words:

"Ancient Gods and Godess, I invoke thee,
Waters from the sky, let it be,
I command thee now, to thee all,
Listen to my desire, rain fall!"

Concentrate really hard and think of it raining. I do this many times, and it works! But only do this when you really need rain!

Blessed Be! )0(

Answer 7

Have you got a better idea? No, I don't think so. Do you not realize the seriousness of the water shortage in the south. We should be turning to God whether good times or bad times. We are not talking about one little rain helping the water shortage. It's going to take a lot of rain to replenish the supplies.

Answer 8

Praying for rain is a good way to get the community focused on drought issues, but many of us Georgians think there should be a plan "B."

Reservoirs should be dredged for next year, more reservoirs should be constructed, growth should be regulated, and so on.

Prayer is fine when you've done all you can do, but that's NOT what's happening in this case.

Answer 9

First off, as a resident of Atlanta, I am embarrassed this is happening. Sonny doesn't speak for me in this instance. I think he's been a pretty good governor to this point, otherwise.

Secondly, the forecast calls for a 60% chance of rain tomorrow night. What are the odds that Sonny's people contacted The Weather Channel -- conveniently located here in Atlanta, also -- and asked them if there was ANY rain in the long term forecast, and then scheduled this dog and pony show just prior to it, in order to make it appear as "divine intervention"?

Answer 10

It is politics!

The Bible says FOR ONE MAN to pray for rain...

James 5:17-18!
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

Christians ar a bunch of phonies!!! REAL PHONIES!!!!

In due course it is going to rain, anyway!

Answer 11

I am pretty sure this is just one of those attention getting stunts that politicians are famous for. Not any different than kissing babies. It is comical.

I do hope you Georgians get some rain soon. We (Alabama) are shipping our water to TN so we can't even help you out.
