Rain and science

Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer to all scientists

Hello kids! 

Have you ever been in a science lesson, and they explained how rain forms? Or ever been out on a hot summer day and realise how important is water when one is thirsty? 

Water is important for life, not only because we drink it, but with water we wash and clean, water plants and help them grow. 

10th November is the world day of science for peace and development. Just like water is essential for life, same is science – without science we would not discover new medicine, new ways of healing and become aware of things that are harming us and the Earth. 

Therefore, today’s prayer space is called rain and science, and we need a large jar, shaving cream, food colouring and a pipette. 

Fill the jar with ¾ water and in a seperate cup put some water and mix in the food colouring. Continue filling the jar with shaving cream. Take the pipette and start transferring the coloured water onto the shaving cream. 

Just like when the clouds in the sky are filled with water and it rains, the same will happen here, once the shaving cream is filled it will start pouring the coloured water like rain.

After you observe this experiment, gather your thoughts and praise God – praise God for the rain, the environment, and mostly for science and scientists. Pray for more smart scientists who will preserve life. 

Bye bye kids!  Until we meet again.
