Today's Scripture *December 8, 2008*
Joshua 7: 7-9
Then Joshua cried out, Oh, Sovereign Lord, why did you bring us across the Jordan River if you are going to let the Amorites kill us? If only we had been content to stay on the other side! Lord, what can I say now that Israel has fled from its enemies? For when the Canaanites and all the other people living in the land hear about it, they will surround us and wipe our name off the face of the earth. And then what will happen to the honor of your great name?
Imagine praying this way to God!
This is not a formal church prayer; it is the prayer of a man who is afraid and confused by what is happening around him.
Joshua poured out his real thoughts to God.
Hiding your needs from God is ignoring the only one who can really help. God welcomes your honest prayers and wants you to express your true feelings to Him. Any believer can become more honest in prayer by remembering that God is all-knowing and all-powerful and that His love is everlasting.
Thank You God for being all-knowing and all-powerful! We praise Your Holy Name!
May we pray as Joshua prayed--honest prayers to our King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
You know our every thought and our every need. And You welcome our honest and sincere prayers.
What a Mighty God we serve! May our week be spent in communion with You!
In Your Righteous Name, Amen..
Bless you as you serve Him this week!
Your sister in Christ,
April
