Shirley was a little girl very devoted to God. She loved attending religious meetings with her parents. A Good News festival was going on in their town. Shirley eagerly got ready and went with her parents. It was summer- time and the heat was unbearable. Their district was reeling under a drought. Before the preaching started the preacher announced that the next day was a day of special prayer for rain. He encouraged all the people to fast and come the next day.
Shirley wanted to fast lunch and her mother smiled within her thinking, “Poor girl. She is so faithful. I wish she doesn’t take things so seriously.” They all started off for the evening meeting. Shirley picked up her little umbrella. “Why are you taking your umbrella? It is evening,” asked her dad. “But daddy, we are going to pray for rain. God is going to give us rain. Then we’ll need an umbrella to get back home,” replied Shirley innocently.
“My God,” thought her dad, “I hope her faith doesn’t get shaken up.” The meeting started with prayer for rain. The preacher and people enthusiastically prayed for rain. Then the preacher started to preach his sermon. There were one or two lightnings. He continued his sermon. A few thunders. People looked around. Black clouds gathered. Just as the preacher concluded his sermon and said “Amen” a few rain drops fell. People were trying to protect their Bibles and find shelter. The downpour started and people ran helter skelter. Shirley had brought a polythene bag for her Bible and song book. She neatly placed them in and tucked the bag under her arm. She opened her umbrella and started with her parents. Seeing Shirley, her parents had brought their umbrellas too. They walked home, happily praising God.
When you pray, have faith!
