Rain: Withheld for Three Years and Six Months in the Days of Elijah

Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”

Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
