Through it all. It is well. Through it all, through it all. My eyes are on you. And it is well with me.
Thank you so much, Father, for being a God who meets us right where we’re at. You love us. Though we are so unworthy in ourselves to be called your children, you adopt us. You make it so that we are well in our soul. Thank you for forgiving us of all of our sins, for loving us, for giving us the joy that comes alone from Jesus.
I pray that in this time together in your word that you would be uplifted that your Holy Spirit would speak to our hearts, comfort us, encourage, convict and enlighten us. Help us to have ready and open ears to hear your word and give us the life we need in you. We pray in Jesus name. Amen. >> Thank you.
May be seated. Well, it gives me a lot of pleasure to tell you that we are moved in. Thank Thank the Lord at long last. By the way, the kids are welcome to head out to kids church at this time. Yeah, God has been faithful during this whole time.
We’ve been you know, been looking forward to this time where we can say we’re citizens of Tiger and that day has arrived. So, praise the Lord for that. You guys have stuck with us and been supportive and praying for us. And thank you for all the people who helped us move. Just got fully officially moved in on Thursday.
And so, now the the fun of unpacking begins, which someone was asking, how soon will that be done? And maybe in about a year or so, something like that. No promises. But it’s a gift to to have to commute five minutes as opposed to an hour and five minutes. So thankful for that.
And I got to tell you, as we’ve been in the book of Joshua and we’ve been looking at these principles of spiritual warfare and what it means to trust in the Lord and to to battle in the Lord’s strength, all these challenges we face in life. I’ve been encouraged and the Lord does this. I found wherever he leads me to preach, he has a lot to teach me. He has a lot to encourage me in and convict me about. And I can tell you that this this passage, this particularly this passage we’re going to look at this morning, has spoken volumes to me.
And the last eight months or so, as as Whitney and I have been seeking the Lord, we’ve been on our knees a lot just asking, “Okay, Lord, where are you sending us?” And then the question was, “Okay, now you’re sending us to Tiger. Okay, how are we going to get there?” And he keeps opening the doors, opening the doors, showing himself faithful through it all. And you know, there’s been times where we feel that spiritual warfare.
You know, we we’ve felt that that discouragement that the enemy wants to bring us and that sense of no, it won’t work out or whatever else it might be. But God has has shown himself faithful and he’s reminded us of his goodness through all those times. I’ll just share briefly when I I think one of the first two times I came up to meet with the pastoral search team here in Tiger, I wanted to get to know the community a little bit. So I drove around Tiger and ended up at Cook Park. Wanted to see what that was like.
And of course, some of you are laughing because now who would know that I we now live about a stones throw away from where I was sitting. And you know, it was just kind of a nice time. I was sitting there listening to the birds and just enjoying the scenery. And it was like God was gently reminding me, I’m with you. Things are going to change for you, but I am with you.
And I know I needed that reminder as we each do every day. Well, in Joshua, we’re in Joshua chapters 9 and 10, covering two chapters this morning. Joshua had his moment where he needed to be reminded that God is with him, that he is not alone in the battle, that he doesn’t need to be afraid of what’s coming. He simply needs to look to the Lord who will fight his battles for him. And what was often considered when people study this passage is you know Joshua here he is he prays that God would stop the sun in the sky.
You want to talk about bold prayers? You know praying that the sun is going to freeze right there in the sky where it’s at. That is a bold prayer. And a lot of times since we’re modern scientific people we start to ask questions like now how did mechanically how how did that work astronomically? How did that even work?
And I think God just kind of chuckles when we ask those questions. Like, I’m the God who made the universe. I made the sky. I made the sun. I’m not going to have a hard time keeping the sun in the sky.
He can do all those things. So, the bigger question isn’t, can God do something like that? It’s do we believe he can do that? Amen. >> And the way to know that you believe that God can stop the sun in the sky is to look at your prayers.
Consider your prayers. Do you pray like someone who believes in a God of that kind of power? Do do your prayers have that kind of boldness, that kind of urgency, that sense of God is unlimited? He can do all things. The only thing limited here is am I going to believe?
Am I going to trust that he can do that? Joshua made this audacious prayer. But we’re going to see there was a purpose to that bold prayer. Here’s the big idea this morning. Our greatest weapon against evil is prayer that is rooted in the promises of God.
Prayer that is rooted in the promises of God. And so, if you would please stand for the reading of God’s holy and precious word. Joshua, we’re going to read 10 verses here. Joshua 10, beginning in verse 5. If you’re using the Bible underneath the seat in front of you, I think it’s around page 152, 153, something like that.
Joshua, Joshua chapter 10 verse 5 says this. Then the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmath, the king of Lakish, and the king of Eglon gathered their forces and went up with all their armies and encamped against Gibian and made war against it. And the men of Gibian sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, “Do not relax your hand from your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country are gathered against us.” So Joshua went up from Gilgal.
He and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor. And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands. Not a man of them shall stand before you.” So Joshua came upon them suddenly, having marched up all night from Gilgal. And the Lord threw them into a panic before Israel, who struck them with a great blow at Gibian, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Haron, and struck them as far as Azakah and Makada.
And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Bethon, the Lord threw down large stones from heaven on them as far as Azakah, and they died. There were more who died because of the hailstones than the sons of Israel killed with the sword. At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel. And he said in the sight of all Israel, “Son, stand still at Gibian and moon in the valley of Aelon.” And the sun stood still.
And the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the book of Jasher? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. There has been no d no day like it before or since when the Lord heeded the voice of a man for the Lord fought for Israel. So Joshua returned and all Israel with him to the camp at Gilgal.
Thank you. You may be seated. When the Israelites were wandering in the desert with Moses at their head, God had told them, “When you go into the promised land, make no treaties, no covenants, no packs with any of the tribes living in the land because this is what you are to do. You are to drive the people out of the land that I’m giving you.” But the Gibeonites, as we learn in Joshua chapter 9, if you back up a chapter, the Gibeonites were wise in their own way.
You know, worldly people can often be wise in a sense to further their ends. And these Gibeonites were very clever. See, they understood what was going on. They read the situation. They looked at the fact that every nation that had ever stood against Israel, dating back to Egypt in the Exodus, had been roundly defeated.
They saw that Jericho and Ai had crumbled to dust. They recognized, you know what, this God of Israel, he is not one to be trifled with. And so they thought, how are we going to get around this? We are in the promised land, the land that’s been promised to Abraham and his descendants, and we are in the war path right now. How do we avoid getting wiped out?
And even though Gibian was a very mighty force, it says they decided to deceive Joshua. So they they put on this this ruse where they would pretend to be from this distant country, not in the promised land, but way off in the distance. And they put on what would be considered an Oscarworthy performance. Look with me at Joshua 9:8. They the people of Gibian said to Joshua, “We are your servants.”
And Joshua said to them, “Who are you and where do you come from?” They said to him, “From a very distant country your servants have come.” Talk about avoiding the question. Can you imagine asking somebody on the airplane, “Hey, where are you from?” “Oh, from a very distant country.”
Well, what’s it like there? Well, it’s very far away. You know, they don’t even have a a name for this madeup country. You’d think Joshua would be a little suspicious here. Verse 9 says, “We’ve come because of the name of the Lord your God, the the name of Yahweh.
It was known in the land. For we have heard a report of him and all that he did in Egypt and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites. So just like Rahab and Jericho had heard of what God had done, she repented. She became a member of the children of Israel. But the Gibeonites, they’re thinking, “No, we we don’t really want to go that route.
We don’t want to repent. Let’s fool the Israelites. Let’s deceive them.” And so, of course, they don’t mention that they’ve also heard about Jericho and Ai being conquered because those are more recent victories. And they want to pretend that they are from so far away that the last they heard was the defeat of these other countries.
Verse 11, they go on, “So our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, take provisions in your hand for the journey and go to meet them and say to them, we are your servants. Come now, make a covenant with us. Here’s our bread.” It was still warm when we took it from our houses as our food for the journey on the day we set out to come to you. But now, behold, it is dry and crumbly.
These wine skins were new when we filled them, and behold, they have burst. And these garments and sandals of ours are worn out from them worn out from the very long journey. See, these Gibeonites, they have everything. They have props to go with their whole act here. You know, the look at the moldy bread, our burst wine skins, our worn out clothes.
Look, it’s proof we have come from a long way. Verse 14. And so the Israelites, this is the key statement, the Israelites examined their food, but they did not consult the Lord. This is a picture of how Satan will try to deceive us. So in your notes, Satan’s great deception is to convince us that what is seen matters more than what is unseen.
Joshua and the leaders of Israel judge by what their eyes tell them. Their eyes tell them, “You know what? The these poor people, they’ve come from a long way and they just want peace. They think these guys can’t be a threat to us and they gladly sign the covenant. They move forward going with their gut rather than consulting the Lord.
And this is what Satan does. He wants us to get all our focus on what’s right in front of us and see only what is there and not what below is below the surface. See the truth is that everything that happens in the physical world has its roots in the spiritual world. Whenever you look at something, you look at a problem in the physical world, you see a physical problem and there’s there’s something rooted there that goes back to the spiritual realm. And to ignore that aspect is to miss the problem entirely.
Can you imagine going to a doctor who’s only interested in treating symptoms? Oh, you have a a terrible recurring side pain. Here, let me give you a Tylenol for that. Right? And if he never looked at the underlying cause, what disease or infection might be causing that pain, that would be a huge problem.
And in the same way, this is what Satan wants us to do. He wants us to focus on the symptoms of the physical world around us where we can see what appears to our five senses and ignore the spiritual. When we do this, when we fall for this deception, we trust our senses over scripture. We focus more on our feelings than our faith. We fear man rather than fearing God.
And we turn to pragmatism rather than prayer. We think this is what makes sense based on everything I can see. But we don’t look at what God has to say about it. And that’s what the people of Israel didn’t do. That’s what Joshua didn’t do.
He didn’t stop to think, well, what does God think about this? It only made sense based on appearances. We have to recognize that the enemy’s major weapon against us is deception. Revelation 12:9 calls Satan the deceiver of the whole world. Everybody, everybody and some level has been deceived by the devil.
Jesus called the devil a liar and the father of lies. In other words, he speaks lies because that’s consistent with his nature. He is the father of them. But rarely does Satan come to you with a bald-faced lie that is not mixed also with truth. Just like the Gibeonites, think about the way they came to Joshua.
A lot of what they said was true. They really were afraid of Israel and they really did see these past victories that Israel had and they really did want a treaty with Israel, but they left out the allimportant truth. They they lied about where they were from. And in the same way, Satan is very cunning. In Genesis 3, we see this from the very beginning.
The first time we meet the devil, he we’re told that he is a crafty one. He was craftier than all the other creatures the Lord God had made. And when he came to Eve, he mixed truth with lies. There was truth mixed in just enough to be believable. And he put that appearance right in front of her.
The thing that she could see in front of her, he wanted all the focus to be on that tasty fruit. And he wanted her to ignore the great truth that God is the good creator who only has her best in mind. In the same way, Satan will disguise himself as an angel of light. He will present evil as if it were good and he’ll play on our feelings. For instance, it’s good to be happy in your marriage.
It’s good to want to be happy in your marriage. But here’s what Satan will do. He will twist that good desire and he will say things like, “Yeah, I notice it doesn’t seem like you’re all that happy in your marriage right now.” You know, it could be because you’re not all that appreciated like you should be. You know who would appreciate you?
That other person over there. You know, it’s good to want to be authentic. That’s a good desire. But Satan will twist that desire. He’ll say things like, “You know, it seems like you’re trying to follow Jesus, but you and I both know you’re you’re failing in so many ways to love and follow Jesus, and you don’t want to be known as a fraud, do you?
You know, it’d be better if you just gave up this whole following Jesus thing, and you were true to yourself. Then you could be authentic.” That’s how the devil lies. He takes true things and he twists them just enough to persuade us. Joshua in his case might have felt like this made sense to make a treaty.
I think he had empathy for the Gibeonites. He saw them in their condition. He probably felt bad. The devil will even twist compassion and empathy for his purposes. I think he saw, you know what, we don’t want to be on a war path indefinitely.
God has given us this land and this war is about inheriting the promised land. And yet he didn’t consider what is the truth behind this. He should have sought the Lord in prayer. In your notes, prayer doesn’t change God, but he promises to change things in response to our prayers. Joshua makes, as I said, probably the boldest prayer found in scripture in Joshua 10.
He asks for God to make the sun stand still in the sky. But we need to see the reasons behind this request. At the beginning of Joshua 10, we learn that the five Canaanite kings, the the Amorite kings, they band together and they see that Gibian has made an alliance with Israel. And so they want revenge on Gibian because they see Israel’s the threat. And so they marshall their forces and they come and make war against Gibian.
Verse 6 says, “And the men of Gibian sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying,”O not relax your hand from your servants. Come to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country are gathered against us.” So notice Gibian is in this very desperate situation and they are not turning to their own Canaanite gods. They’ve given up on those gods, but they send this cry of help to Joshua. Save us.
And in many ways, that’s a lot like prayers that you and I might make in a desperate situation. We call them arrow prayers. You know, you shoot up a prayer in that out of desperation, in that difficult situation. Lord, help me. Save me in this situation.
And here Joshua responds. Now, in the case of one nation responding and helping another nation, that makes sense. But many people wonder, why should we even pray at all? Why do we need to pray? I mean, God knows everything.
He knows my needs. Why does he need me to pray? And also, if God is sovereign and he’s working out his perfect plan from eternity, then what difference could my little prayer possibly make in his eternal plan? Still others might wonder, you know, why is it that even when I have asked for something with earnest, heartfelt, faithfilled prayer, I I’ve requested for something and God seems to be ignoring me? Why is that?
And and other people, it seems like they’re getting their prayers answered left and right. Why? They start to wonder, is there something wrong with me? Does God not love me? I believe there are good biblical answers to all these questions.
But it comes down to this. Prayer has more than one purpose. It boils down to our relationship with God. In Malachi 3:6, God says, “I, the Lord, do not change.” God doesn’t change.
Our prayers don’t change God. But here’s what God promises to do. He says, “If you will call upon me in prayer, I will change things.” James, book of James says, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. It does things.”
And earlier in James, we read, “You do not have because you do not ask.” In other words, God is willing you to give, willing to give you something, but you’re not going to have it until you ask. But he goes on to say, “When you ask, you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” So on the one hand, our prayer could be answered by God because he loves us and he’s powerful and he can do all things and he’s wanting to show us that. On the other hand, a prayer might not be answered because God understands things we don’t understand.
He sees the full picture and he knows that actually if he was to grant that request, it might prove to be a problem for us. The answer to the request might be no because he has something better in mind. Or it could be not yet because he wants us to trust his timeline is always best. For example, a father might decide that he wants to give his daughter a phone when she’s 16. Now, when she’s 12, he she might come to him and say, “Hey, I want this phone.”
And she might plead and beg for this phone. And he might say, “No, not yet.” And she might interpret that as, “My dad doesn’t love me. He doesn’t care about me. My other friends have this.
Why don’t I have this? But when she’s 16 and she comes to him with his more mature perspective on the risks and rewards of having a phone and she asks him calmly, he’ll gladly give it to her. But she had to come to the place where she was ready to have it. I think prayer often works that way with God. And the reason I say that is because God’s great goal for you is not simply that you have everything you ask for be granted, but that you become like Jesus.
That’s what he wants for you. He wants you to become like Jesus Christ. The Bible says that we have been predestined to be conformed to his image. And so it could be that certain prayers aren’t answered the way we might like them to be because if he did answer them the way we want, that actually might lead us away from Christ. And so God might say no or not yet.
In his book on prayer, Tim Keller writes, “God will either give us what we ask or give us what we would have asked if we knew everything he knows.” I think that’s a good perspective. But what we learned from Joshua from all of this is that we should be encouraged to ask boldly in our prayers. You know, God can handle all the the finer details of how the universe fits together, how everything works. He wants us to ask boldly with faith.
Some people have thought of prayer primarily in terms of persuading God to do something. They think of the time when Moses was interceding on behalf of the sinful nation. God was ready to destroy the nation, but Moses interceded and God relents. But I think it’s more accurate to not say necessarily that God is persuaded to do something because of our prayers, but that is God invites us to partner with him. We’re God’s partners in prayer.
Co-workers is the way that Paul puts it. We’re co-workers with God to bring about his purposes on earth. Now, God is ultimately sovereign over all, but he invites us because he is a relational God to be a part of that working out of his purposes. And that’s primarily through prayer. So God doesn’t change.
His purposes don’t change. His eternal plan is working out exactly on schedule. Nothing is going to be prohibited from happening that he wants to happen. But here’s what he promises. That he will make things happen because we pray.
Things will change when we pray. There’s an effect because of our prayers. Now, just stop and think about the wonder of that. Think about things from God’s perspective for a moment. God has made this vast and wonderful universe with all these galaxies and stars.
And here’s little bitty us on this tiny speck of a planet hurtling through space. And even after all the things that we have done to rebel against God, he continually supplies us with everything we need. We need life, oxygen, sunlight, warmth, food, and water. He supplies it all. God doesn’t need us.
We need him. And even after we have sinned against him as a human race, God chose to enter this world. This little bitty speck of a planet. He came entered this world as a baby. He lived the perfect life.
He died the death we deserve. Bore the penalty for our sins on the cross. He did that gladly because he loves us. And he rose again. And then what he does is he offers us full forgiveness, full pardon for everything we’ve done wrong if we will simply come to him.
Not earn it through doing this, that, and the other, but simply come to him. That’s it. Just come to me. Jesus says, “Come to me, and I will give you rest.” And if that were not amazing enough, when we trust in Christ, he graciously wraps us in the robe of his righteousness.
We’re forever made a son or daughter of God. He gives us a place to sit with his son in the heavenly places. We get to share in his kingdom rule and reign. Now, I didn’t make that up. The Bible says it.
If we endure, we will reign with him. That’s what the Bible says. We will reign with Jesus. Not only that, but he invites us to speak with him, to relate to him as friends, >> to dance with him. He ordains that our prayers will actually change the course of events.
He He ordains that our prayers have an effect that will echo in eternity. That is amazing. This is the God we serve. And what I love about Joshua is that while he failed, just like we have all failed at different levels, Joshua failed to seek God first about the Gibeonites, he made a mistake, but he owned it. And then he recognizes his error and he doesn’t try to cover up his wrong with another wrong.
He keeps his word and he honors the fact that he made this treaty. And when Gibian cries for help, he comes and he calls on God to help him. So third in your notes, in warfare prayer, and we are in a war, we call on the omnipotent God to conquer unseen enemies in his name. In Ephesians 6, we’re reminded that just as Joshua had enemies he could see, we all have enemies we can’t see. The the enemies in the unseen realm, the demonic, they’re unseen, but they’re no less real.
And we’ve seen that our enemy is powerful. He has deceived the whole world. The Bible says we don’t want to underestimate him. But Satan is not invincible. Many people wonder if they should be afraid of the devil.
And the answer is no. Not if you belong to Jesus Christ. You know, we don’t need to be afraid of the devil, but we do need to be aware of the devil and his strategies and his lies. The Bible says, “Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.” As I read the gospel, something that I I notice almost every time I read through, especially Matthew, Mark, and Luke, is that whenever Jesus encounters the demonic, you notice something.
They recognize him right away. You know, they say, “Jesus, you are the son of God.” Even they they’ve got a good theology, these demons. Everybody else is left scratching their heads, thinking, “Who is this guy calming the waves, feeding 5,000? Who could this be?”
The demons have it figured out right away. And they even ask the They even ask Jesus, you know, “Have you come to torment us before the appointed time?” They recognize Jesus is the authority. They asked for permission to be sent into pigs, which is kind of odd, but you know, it shows that they understood Jesus is the authority over them. They don’t stand a chance against him.
Every time Jesus orders a demon to leave someone, they leave. They have to leave. Now, there’s a time when the disciples fail to cast out a demon. But Jesus never fails. So you don’t have to be afraid of Satan when you are living under the authority of Jesus Christ.
If you commit your life to Jesus Christ, you don’t need to be afraid of the devil. You don’t need to be afraid of death. You don’t need to be afraid of anything if you will give yourself fully and completely over to Christ. And in warfare prayer, we are asking our omnipotent God who has never lost a battle. He is a perfect 1,000% record of winning.
We ask him to battle for us. If God is for us, who can be against us? And when we confidently call on God in the name of Jesus to battle for us, the enemy is terrified. Look at this in verse 8. It says, “Do not fear them.”
God is promising Joshua the victory. Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands. Not a man of them shall stand before you. And Joshua and his men have marched all night from Gilgal. That’s their base camp.
They’re probably exhausted by this point. Marched all night. They’re at the end of their rope. Maybe you can relate to that. You feel like you’re at the end of your tether.
You’re exhausted. You’ve got nothing left in you. Nothing left in the tank. But then look again at how the Bible describes it in verse 10. And the Lord threw them into a panic before Israel.
Joshua didn’t need to panic because the enemies of Israel were thrown into a panic by God. See, there might be times that you feel afraid. But here’s what you need to remind yourself. The one who really needs to be afraid is the demonic, the demons who oppose Jesus. They shudder.
The Bible says even at the mention of his name, when you call on the omnipotent God of the universe, you are asking a God who has never lost a battle, has infinite power, and is the the Lord over all, has all authority to battle for you. And he does. He responds. The demons should be afraid. You don’t need to be afraid.
And in verse 11, it says, ‘ God even hurls down giant hailstones on the fleeing enemy so that more are killed by hailstones than by the sword.’ Now, I looked it up and even as recently as 2010 in South Dakota, there was a 8 inch diameter hailstone that was 2 pounds. And yes, there have been cases of serious injuries and fatalities because of hail storms. And so this actually is happening even in recent time. It says in verse 12, this is Joshua’s prayer.
At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel. And he said in the sight of Israel, everybody hears this prayer, “Son, stand still at Gibian and moon in the valley of Aelon.” And the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Now remember, Joshua has already been promised the victory and he’s looking at the the daylight hours left and he’s needing some more. He’s needing some daylight savings here.
And so what he does is he asks God because of that promised victory, God, you promised you would give me this victory. And we’re going to have trouble seeing the enemy if you don’t keep that son there. So I’m asking in line with your promise and your purposes, I’m asking you to do the impossible. That’s what Joshua is praying for. The awesome Lord of massive hail storms and solar systems who designed and oversees how the earth orbits around the sun and all the details of that.
He is a God who, look at verse 14, heeds the voice of a man. For the Lord fought for Israel. The God overall has dained to listen to us. He He’s willing to, as it were, kneel down and bend his ear and listen to his children. What is it you’re going to ask me for?
This is the God we serve. I hope that seeing this passage emboldens you to pray in this way. Now, you may not be needing to ask the sun to stand still in the sky, but there could be an equivalent in your life. There might be something right now where you’re thinking, I’m up against something impossible. There is no way I’m going to move that obstacle there.
There’s nothing I can do about it. I’ve come to the end of myself. But I’m asking you, Lord, you who can do all things to act on my behalf to vanquish the enemy that I’m facing. See, it’s not that Joshua was so amazing. It’s that God is so amazing.
Joshua knew that he had been given these grand promises of victory and he called on the God who fought for him. And see, this is the key. Joshua knew God’s purposes and he knew God’s promises. That’s what emboldened him to pray this way. If we don’t know what God is doing, we have no we aren’t in this book.
If we aren’t studying his word, if we’re not seeing what God is up to in the world, we’re not going to know how to pray in this bold way. But when we align our hearts with his, we can pray these bold prayers. And lastly, God is honored when we ask him to do the impossible in line with his promises, in line with his purposes. So it’s not that our prayers work like magic. It’s not that, you know, if you believe something enough, it’ll happen.
That’s the theology of Walt Disney. What it is is if you believe in a God who can do the impossible and you want his purposes to be fulfilled on earth and you want to be in line with what he has promised and you pray toward that end, he responds. And when we make bold prayers, we honor God because we’re saying, “I can’t, but you can.” So, what is a son standstill prayer that God wants you to ask? And let’s do t
