A blessed morning, folks.

Praising God for His blessings is certainly in keeping with Reformed theology.

But doesn't the initial prayer and fasting for rain come dangerously close to "name it and claim it" theology?

At minimum, doesn't it imply that God is moved by our prayers to change a previously determined direction?

Praying for God's intervention isn't an issue, it's when we twist it in on our selves (name it claim it) that it becomes sinful.

I would second what Gamecock stated adding that it is through asking and receiving/or not that God reveals His will to us.

The "name it and claim it" theology brazenly believe it's their right and privilege to pray for something and God will grant it to them. Apply this to a child who would tell their father that they want a new toy and you can see the theological problem.
