Rain, Rain, Go Away

It's the middle of the night and the rain still hasn't let up. It's been days and it's raining like there's no tomorrow. For some, it seems like there really is no tomorrow. For some, tomorrow is gone. According to news reports, many people have died because of these torrential rains and the consequent floods. The worst part about it is that it's still happening. It's still raining, and there's nothing man can do to stop it.

It's frustrating to know that whenever the view of the outside shows a slight bit of peace, a fresh wave of rain is just tailing behind to add more to the chaos. One literally feels powerless against nature, especially if you're the one grappling with it firsthand.

I wish the rains would stop. I wish the floods would stop rising. I wish that the reports about homes being washed away, about people getting stranded, about people drowning would stop being true.

Whoever is reading this, if this gets read at all, please pray for the rains to stop. Please pray for the safety of the people who have become victims of something infinitely bigger than any of us. It might not be much for some of you, praying, but in times of crisis it could be the only thing that saves.
