65:3,

As the rain falls on the cracked soil, I wonder how our minds have ever dared to think that You would ever leave us without provision. How could the One who commands water to fall from the skies above, not provide us with every need of ours?

The rain falls, splashes onto the ground, and I think about how weak our hearts are. We tremble at the smallest fear, we forget about hope the moment our mind floods with constant what-ifs.

But, here’s the what ifs we should be pondering upon. What if Allah never lets us down? What if He has the answers to every single one of our questions? What if He knows all of your moves and thoughts? Every breath you take and every tears you shed? What if He has devised a plan for you? What if He has created you with an assigned provision for your needs? What if, just what if, He is The Provider?

What if all of those were true?

Because they are. We just forget. We forget where we come from. We forget where we’re going.

Ya Allah please forgive us. Allow us to look at the rain and see what you have truly blessed us with. Allow our eyes to see that every single drop of rain represents just a portion of the blessings You send our way. That just as the rain floods the ground, You flood our hearts with Love. If only we knew. If only we saw. If only we understood. Ya Allah allow us to understand. That what You have planned, from the beginning to the end, has a purpose beyond what we could comprehend.

Ya Allah, You are our only hope.

Allow us to see, that in this rain that falls, is a blessing to no end.

Allow us to hear, in the wind howling and the thunder growling, the call of a Loving Lord.
