There was a severe drought some years ago in the northern part of England. The situation became so severe that if it would not rain within a week, the crops would be totally lost. Due to this urgent need, it was decided to have a special prayer service for rain in one of the local churches.
As the minister of this congregation was approaching the church, he saw a little girl ahead of him carrying an umbrella. He caught up with the girl and asked her, “My little girl, why are you carrying an umbrella to church on such a hot day?”
Turning and looking into his face, the girl answered, “We are going to ask God to send rain today. I want to be ready.”
The minister testified in his sermon that the faith of this girl put him to shame.
