At bible study a while ago the amazing ladies in the group were reading "Sun Stand Still." They were talking about it and I had no idea what they were talking about and really didn't think much of it. Later that night I was back at her house and noticed in the bathroom a list of letters and ask her "What is all this?" She said its a list of people she knows who aren't Christians and its her "Sun Stand Still" prayer that they came to know Jesus and God.
It got me thinking..I got to have this book. So the next pay period I went and got the book. I started reading it and absolutely fell in love with it. I've been having a slight distraction finishing thanks to another amazing bible study leader. So it has taken me a while to finish it but its a great book.
Basically its about Joshua who faced a huge feat and he prayed to God that he make the Sun Stand Still for 24 hours. (get why the book is called Sun Stand Still) Because of Joshua's faith God granted that prayer. So this got me thinking if I had faith like that what would I pray for. It took alot of time and prayer to be finalized my prayer. I wanted the wording to be perfect and God Serving.
Before I tell everyone my prayer I want to say this is my prayer. Things are going in the right steps. I really hope that I don't offend anyone and I'm so sorry if I do.
My Sun Stand Still prayer to for my immediate family (mom, dad, brother, sis in law, husband, and myself) to be closer. I really want to be closer to my mom and dad. I want a better relationship with my brother and his wife. We are making steps in the right direction but still a long ways to go. There has been a lot of hurt in the past on both sides. I really want a day when we can all get together and truly enjoy each others company no one thinks or mentions the past.
