Rain on all sides of us the last few days. Nothing here.

It was sliding north and south of us since Thursday. North Tarrant had gotten some rain but I am in far SW Fort Worth. Late last night we got a good rain finally and it has continued this morning. About freaking time!

Prayed for rain, now praying for the rain to stop.

6 1/2 inches in the last 24 hours.

We got a ton of rain overnight. My ponds that were almost dry are overflowing. So a whole summer worth of rain in one night. I'm in NE Texas Hopkins county.

Rained really hard last night, kept me up for awhile. Read this morning, 6-10" of rain in DFW overnight.

And in my neck of the woods, the ground sucked it right up.

These days take it while you can get it!

4.5” yesterday and last night. I went outside and watched it for about an hour. Thank you, Lord God, for the rain!

More, please!

I understand some got way more than needed and actually flooded. Prayers for them also.

I have been praying daily for rain. Not just in the state of Texas, but throughout the south and southwest where drought conditions have existed, in some places, for years. I happened upon this prayer, and invite all of you so inclined to use it as a reference. If you are like me, you sometimes know what you want to pray for, but have trouble finding the words.

“Dear God, we cry to You to send rains to the parched lands of Texas. Lord, the rains have been withheld and our fields are becoming like a dust bowl and Lord. there is not a single cloud in the sky. And yet, You are God and You are the one who poured out rain on the land, when Elijah prayed. Like Elijah, we come to You Lord, and pray that You would send clouds with an abundance of rain, for the land is dying and we are in great need.

Lord, our hope is in You and our trust is in You. Without You Lord, we could not survive in this land and we know and acknowledge this fact, and so we cry out together for You to hear our prayers for rains to drench the earth and bring new life to a land that is thirsty and arid.

Forgive us Lord, for the times that we have not thanked You for Your ongoing provision, but do not hold that to our account, for You have promised to send water to the earth in due season and so we look to You Lord, we look to You, for our hope is in You alone, for we have no one to help us apart from You. In Jesus' name,

Amen.”

While Dalla & Austin were flooding, we were getting 0.45" making our August total (so far) just over 1.0". - better'n a sharp stick in the eye.

Rained all day yesterday. Just a nice steady soaking rain.

We have received an inch at a time over the last 4 out of 5 days totaling 4.25 inches. It's the first we have received since the first of May......Thank you Lord!! We will gladly take more.

Seems like all the rain gets used up before the clouds gets to your place. The clouds need to move faster.
