How do you deal with the rain?
When the rain is associated with so much pain.
How can you use the rain?
When the rain seems to wash your life down the drain.

You think of rain, you think of trouble
You think of a hard rain, you connect it with double
We always say "When it rains it pours"
Where there's fear it soars.

Why does it have to rain so hard?
Why did life deal ME the rain card?
Why can't I grow?
Why can't I reap the goodness I sow?
When will the rain stop?
When will the storm stop?
Why is this happening to me?
Why is this flooding me?

So many questions - makes me think.
No enough answers - causes me to sink.

I go to church looking for answers,
depending on the Missionaries, the Deacons and the Pastor.
"Oh God help this child in need,
Heavenly Father help this child succeed"
I left feeling the same way I came in,
full of water, full of dirt still drowning in sin.

I go home - wading in waist deep water.
My walk. my journey is getting harder and harder.
I give up, "God help me please
the water is up to my chest now, I don't know how much longer I have to breathe!"
I beg God to stop the rain, the water is too high.
Please God hear me, I don't want to die!

God says to me,
"Stop fighting against the rain
Stop fighting and live through the pain.
Stop going against the grain.
Start flowing, embrace the strain.
Relax your body and let the water help you.
Float to the other side, there waiting is your refuge.
The rain is help nurture your seeds,
the flood is to wash away your greed.
The pain you caused because you made a mistake.
The strain is because you closed the flood gate.
Allow the rain irrigate your crop,
Allow the rain to water your flock.
Let go of your ego, open your mouth
and pray for rain, so there will be no drought."

When going through the storms of life, we tend to forget the rain is needed. We get so caught up in the turmoil, wind and all the mess that we fail to see the Son, and realize that God know what's best!!!
