Love to Pray

Sunday after church, I let my drivers window down to release the heat in my car.  Only it didn't go back up when I wanted it to.
No worries.  I only needed to drive a couple of miles to a local park where my dad and our friend who solved my low tire issue would be.  We tried shutting the car off and turning it back on.  Dad tried pulling the panel apart and playing with the switches power.  Our friend and I have already replaced one motor in a different door and knew it was easy to gain access to it, so we ripped the door apart and tried banging on the motor.  No luck.  We also couldn't get a good grip on the glass to raise it manually.
So I grabbed my heavy leather jacket that I keep in my car for winter emergencies, cranked the heat and drove 40+ miles home with the window down.
Once there, we rigged up a cover to protect from any rain out of black garbage bags, but I can't exactly drive with it, so I just remove it while I drive.
Ordered the motor yesterday, it will come in today.  Awesome!
The thought occurred to me at some point in time yesterday, what happens if it is raining while I am driving?  Well....  Let's hope it doesn't.......
This morning, I walked out of my apartment to wet ground and overcast skies.  My heart fell.
And then I started praying.  Lord, please don't let it rain while I drive.  Over and over.
Every time I saw a glimpse of sun I said thank you with a grateful heart and spirit.
I just continued this until I arrived at work completely dry.
The skies are a beautiful blue, not a cloud visible anywhere.
Nothing is too small or trivial if you just pray.
