Prayer in Time of Storm (Continuous Rain)

Lord, our God. Once you answered the prayer of the prophet who loves you, the zealous Elijah, and blessed the time to cease the rain. And now, O Man‑loving Creator and Merciful Lord, receive from us, your humble and unworthy servants, the meek prayers we bring before you, and, being generous, forgive our sins and, out of your man‑loving kindness, hear our supplications: send clear weather to your people and sunshine to all who need and ask for mercy in you; rejoice the earth and, for the sake of your unfortunate people, children, livestock, and all other living creation that you feed with your mercy and provide them sustenance in due season.

O Lord our God, fulfill our supplication and do not disgrace our hope, but have mercy on us from your mercy and send us your blessings, for our days are passing swiftly, and in suffering our life is shortened. Do not destroy us for our iniquities, by which we have earned your wrath and punishment, but act with us according to your love and great mercy, for with a troubled soul and a distressed spirit we turn to you, and as unworthy servants we are worthy of even greater punishment; with contrite repentance we earnestly beg you: we have sinned, committed iniquities and have acted sinfully in all things, violating your commandments, and therefore everything you allow upon us you allow in justice and truth.

But do not deliver us completely to destruction, to famine and ruin, nor let the raging waters overwhelm us—remember, in your anger, your grace and be merciful for the sake of your blessings, have mercy from the compassion of your creation and the work of your hands, and quickly deliver us from all evil. For to you alone, our God, belong our mercy and salvation, and to you we ascribe glory, Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
