A Prayer for Your Seed & Soil

Have you ever been in a season where it felt like God was withholding the rain? As we dive into James 5:17-18 and the story of Elijah—a man just like us—who prayed earnestly, and God answered. Even when the heavens were shut for three and a half years, something sacred was happening: seeds were still being planted.Elijah didn’t stop believing just because there was no immediate evidence of rain. And when the rain finally returned, the land yielded its fruit—not because of the rain alone, but because good seed had already been sown into prepared soil.

This episode is a prayer and prophetic charge for entrepreneurs, visionaries, and purpose-driven leaders: stop watching the clock and start tending to your ground. Cultivate faith. Plant with intention. Trust that the rain will come—but even more, trust that God honors what’s been sown in faith.

Let this be a reminder to shift your focus from timing to tending—because harvest is a result of both what you sow and where you sow it. Your seed is not forgotten. Your soil is not barren. Get ready—God sends rain to the prepared.
