Sun Stands Still

Part of maintaining and keeping a growing relationship with God is to pray correct? Every time you turn around prayer, prayer and more prayer. This is why I’m glad I’m a prayer….I have felt the power of constant communication with God, my heavenly Father, my Best Friend. However there are days when prayer seems cliché.

Pastor Steven Furtick takes the idea and communication to God through prayer to the next level. Giving purpose to why we need to fall back on God. Knowing and sharing this truth with Furtick there were times when I was absorbed in the reality of how dead on he was, but other time when all I wanted to do was put the book down. To pray is to live by faith, and to live by faith is hard. The steps of obedience explored in the Sun Stands Still: What Happens when you Dare to Ask God for the Impossible, are necessary, but unbelievable difficult if not looked upon in baby steps of going from milk to bread to meat in our daily walk of nutrition with God. Not all of us can have the perspective of Joshua, but each of us can try one day at a time.

The biggest revelation after reading this book was if we are asking God to do something daring in our own lives, how are we going to react when He returns the idea by asking us to DARE to trust in Him.
