Sun Stand Still

I'm reading pastor Steven Furticks book called "Sun Stand Still" and it has truely opened my eyes the what faith really is and what it means to really have faith, faith that Steven Furtick calls audacious faith. he mentions a portion of scripture that captivated my mind and is helping me to reshape my life to be built upon a foundation of true faith.

Joshua 10:12-13
On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
“O sun, stand still over Gibeon,
O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”


13 So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on its enemies,as it is written in the Book of Jashar.
The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.

Joshua had the audacity to ask God to make the sun to stand still in the sky. WOW!
if it were me in that situation, I dont think that i would have enough faith to ask for something that i know is scientifically IMPOSSIBLE. not only did Joshua belive that the impossible was possible but he had the guts to actually ask God to do it. These few versus have opened my eyes to the truth that God CAN do anything, and he WANTS to do the impossible in my life. I've also relized that the impossible isnt neccesarily something that is physically or scientifically impossible. It is something in my life, because of my experiences and understanding, that i think is impossible to happen, such as a healing, broken relationships getting restored, finances, etc.

In my life i've been placed in my share of trials and heartaces, some of them more recently. we found out about a week or two ago that my mom has been diagnosed with graves disease. this has got me to thinking and really challenging me to apply what God is doing in my heart lately. to apply what i know of this audacious faith, to ask god for the impossible. pastor Steven calls this a Sun Stand Still prayer.   my sun stand still prayer in this situation isnt for divine healing, but that He would do something in my moms heart and reveal himself to her that he is Provider, he is Healer, he is Comfortor, he is Saviour. she believes in God and believes in Jesus Christ, but she doesn't have a deep, true relationship with him and thats all i ask.
i have been creating a list of my Sun Stand Still prayers, prayers for things that are imposibble in my life. i've been stretching my faith and having the guts to aske god for them. i dont know how, but i know how but i know that He can do them. he is bigger and stronger than i could ever imagine. BUT i have to remember that it may not, and probably wont, happen the way that i see it or think it should happen. God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love him.......
