Rain

Morocco has a continuous drought cycle that regularly afflicts the nation. Rural areas tend to be hardest hit by drought but because agriculture produces much of the GDP drought affects the whole economy.

Due to an extended drought there has been much prayer aimed at seeing Morocco blessed with

sufficient rainfall for agricultural and domestic needs.

Recently there have been ideal rains in the North of the country and along some of the coastal plains. In

these areas the levels in reservoirs reached the highest they have for many years. This will ensure good

crops and a harvest for the year for farmers in those regions. It is the promise of an income for the many

families that rely upon what are effectively subsistence agricultural techniques.

Things in the central and southern portions of Morocco however are very different. After years without rain

the land has become as dry as ever. Most rivers stop flowing. There have been years with no visible snow

on the mountains that should otherwise provide regular water flow into surrounding areas year round as it

melts. Many reservoirs and wells are dried up or at very low levels so there is no safety net for the many

who are dependent on local water sources.

"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!"

Isaiah 55:1

"The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to

bless all the work of your hands." Deuteronomy 28:12a

Pray enough rain and snow will fall to replenish wells, reservoirs, rivers and the water table throughout Morocco.
Pray the Lord's blessing will be on Morocco and its peoples as Moroccans called by His name humble themselves and seek His blessing for their nation.
Pray the life-giving water that flows from the throne of God would reach all those in Morocco who thirst for it.
