For Rain.
O GOD, in whom we live, and move, and are, grant us seasonable rain; that we, enjoying a sufficiency of support in this life, may with more confidence strive after the things which are eternal.
For Fair Weather.
HEAR us, O Lord, who cry unto Thee, and grant fair weather to us. Thy suppliant servants; that we, who are justly afflicted for our sins, may by Thy preventing pity find mercy.
For the gift of Tears.
ALMIGHTY and most Merciful God, who didst cause a fount of living water to spring out of a rock, for Thy people in their thirst: draw forth tears of compunction from our stony hearts; that we may weep over our sins, and by Thy mercy deserve to obtain pardon for the same.
For Forgiveness of Sins.
O GOD, who rejectest none that come unto Thee, but in loving-kindness art appeased even with the greatest sinners who repent: mercifully regard our prayers in our humiliation, and enlighten our hearts, that we may be able to fulfil Thy commandments.
