Bold Prayers!! by Debbie McGrath

Today's reading:  
March 21: Joshua 9-11, 1 Corinthians 6

Joshua is one of my favorite books and I admire the faith of Joshua.
He knew God and he was faithful to God. 
Joshua is truly a mentor for all of us!!

The scripture I chose:( I love this bold prayer!!)
Joshua 10:12... Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
                     "O sun stand still over Gibeon.
                       O moon, over the valley of Aijan.
Observation:
The Israelites are in battle with the 5 kings of the Amorites and their soldiers.
Joshua and his men with the Lord's help is winning the battle but they need more day light so the Amorites could not hide in the woods when the sun went down.  In front of all the Israelites, Joshua bodily prays out loud for the sun to stand still and God answered his prayer.

Application:
Joshua had so much faith because He knew the Lord!!! He was specific with his prayer request and God was glorified!!  Joshua never doubted his prayer.  god wants us to pray boldly.  Bold prayers honor God and God honors bold prayers.
The bolder our prayers the more glory God receives.  We have to believe that God is for us and if we believe that we will pray big audacious prayers.  We need to pursue God sized dreams ad seize God ordained opportunities.

Prayer:  Lord help me change my prayer life!! Help me to ask for the impossible and believe!!
