Sun Stand Still _{What Happens When You Dare To Ask God For The Impossible}

I'm praying for my fire to come back. The fire I had when I first became a follower of Jesus and I was experiencing joy and expecting miracles every day. I'm praying for a feeling of certainty, and that He would remove the cloud of confusion over my head. I'm praying to know God's will and His direction, even if it's only a step at a time. I'm praying for His provision, not just for my needs, but even for my wants...so that I may be able to steward my finances wisely and use what I have to bless others more. I'm praying for my family and believing that this is the year that they will be saved. I'm praying for my own future family. That I would be patient in waiting, but also expectant, that I would know with full confidence by faith that God can grant me the desires of my heart, even if I don't see how these will come to pass. And I pray to be able to release my burdens and worries...that I may be able to experience His comfort, rest, and love. -

Pls pray for my family. My mom needs healing, and my husband and I want to have children but have been unable to conceive so far. We need a miracle! -

We are in desperate need for the Sun to stand still over our daughter, Miranda's current spiritual situation. She has recently married a guy who says he is an atheist. She will not talk to any of her immediate family. We pray for salvation, & relational healing. Thank You! -

pray for my daughter, Jessica, who has turned her back on GOD and says she believes no more. This I think is due to her daughter being borned with a handicap but who is a miracle in itself the past 10 years. Also ffor her and the family to mend relationships with each other. -

Please pray for reconciliation with our son, Jeremy and his wife Mandi, and an amazing relationship with the two of them for my husband, our other son, Adam, and myself for the future. We have always been a very close family and in January our son married Mandi. They have cut off all communication with my husband and myself and most communication with our son, Adam. We have tried to reconcile and have asked for forgiveness, to no avail. We all know Christ as our Lord and savior. We are confused as to what is going on and miss them both terribly. -

My SSS prayer is that the knowledge my son has of God in his head will move to his heart and that he will be saved. -

My prayer is that my mom and dad will know Jesus before they leave this earth--and that I will have the courage to point the way. --AKL -

My prayer is that my future husbands family would be wrecked with Christ and that God would use us throughout the Middle East to spread His truth and love. -

My husband and I live in a condo community that has deteriorated. The outside areas and communal areas inside are not kept up any more; there has been a rise in violence, break-ins and car theft. We heard gun shots last week that scared us both. We haven't been able to get cooperation from the developer on noise nuisances from the elevator and sprinkler system that are adjoining our condo. We have had one water/mildew repair once already that we had to pay out of pocket. We currently have a lien on the property and didn't even know it, all because of a mis-communication with the HOA company who still does not communicate with us. Our condo community is mostly owned by the developer so the private owners are the minority and do not get what we ask for, we don't have a board of directors. And on top of that me and my husband want a child but since we are now upside down its hard to sell and get a bigger and more safe place to stay. We just want to rent an apartment somewhere else. We are thankful for a roof over our heads, but we are praying our Sun Stand Still prayer for a way out of our condo. I thank you for your prayers in advance and for the time you spent reading my request. God Bless You! -Latoya M. -

My brother has an addiction to pain medication. His marriage is falling apart because of it. They have been married for 20 years. Please pray that he can be released from this addiction & healing for his family. -

Lord I am so thankful for my wife that You provided beyond what I deserve. She has labored with a great burden to change the lives of others. I ask in accordance with John 14 that You show her the open door and harvest. I ask even more than I can imagine in John 17 that Your prayer and will for her life come to pass; that Your prayer for Clara is answered and You are glorified without a shadow of doubt. Let us continue to serve You with one heart and one mind as we pursue the lives You have given us. I thank You for Your awesome love, amen & amen. -

I have been in love with the same woman for just about 14 years. I meet her when i turned 20, and i'll be 34 in 2 months. Our desire is to be married in the first week of December, we trust in the Lords leading and hope in His provision. We pray to Him to make a way, through the 'obstacles' in our way - finance, distance (She is in Nigeria at the moment, and i am in Virginia), our parents ( there is opposition due to the fact that we are both from different parts of the country (Nigeria), and different tribes), and also for us to be together in the US (we are both looking to obtain resident visas). Whew!! That seemed like a mouthfull :-) But our only hope is in 'Our Father' because if he doesn't, there is no way we can. So i ask for you to join me in prayer, as i look to the Sun standing still for my bride-to-be and I...Amen :-) -

God, I pray that you would use me to start a mighty movement of God in a major metropolitan city that would birth other mighty movements of God in other major metropolitan cities all over the world God, I also pray for my family and my wife's that they would all come to know you. God, I pray for my son that you would raise him up to be a mighty man of God in his generation. -

Praying for my husband to lead us and love us- to be the husband God called him to be and return to his faith and trust in God. -

Recognizing in belief that my God is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine... LORD, please save, secure, and deliver the family member and friends I have been praying for so so long. Keep us humble and contrite. Give us a clarity of sight that silences pride and inflames our peace and godly Love for you and others. Let the billions of people that will be saved still be too few - let as many as possible be saved. -- In the beginning of 2008, during a group prayer in which I asked for help with my novel, a word was given to my friend: "God's going to make the sun stand still for you." I asked You, LORD, for guidance about what that meant, but I got the idea You were saying your were going to make it work... Your miraculous way! So, according to Your will, use my book to bring as many people into the Kingdom as possible and to unimaginably strengthen the brothers and sisters already within it. Please guide me to the right publisher, and give me the endurance, hope, discernment, faith, and Love to do your will. Keep me steadfast in humility and Grace. Because I know You are the Word, and You are Salvation. And so You deserve all honor and credit for everything good that results from your Word -- whether it been in book form or spoken, artwork or songs, prayer or preaching. Please complete your purpose for me. And all in your Kingdom. And unify us into one Church again with Your Word. And: Grant me and my brothers and sisters each an unimaginably, sanctified marriage in Your wisdom and Love. Be my Everlasting Love. Be our Everlasting Love. Be my Everlasting Love... and let the world be transformed by the Love they see between us. Let the hearts of scoffers thaw and fill with your Son...! In Jesus Loving, Holy Name, Amen! -

So God has called me to go from a janitor at a church to one day be a Church-Planter. I have a few families that believe in my calling, and ready to go with me. My "Sun Stand Still" prayer, is that God would start guiding me in the way we should go. We are several hundred miles away from our destination with little funds, and lots of small kids, but to God our problems are tiny. He controls the wind and the waves and the sun. Thanks Elevation, we have never been to that Church before, but the church body is a Force behind Jesus. Casey -

That God would heal the emotional and mental sickness and wounds that have recently resulted in my mother leaving home and my family. That God would ignite revival in the hearts and lives of the students under my direction and those at Liberty University. -

That my wife and children will love and support me as I step out in obedience to God's calling. That my family remains my first ministry and that they never are or feel like my second (or worse) ministry. I pray that God will search my heart and ensure my motives are pure. That He will continue to provide the strength and audacious faith to carry out all I believe He has called me to do. That all accomplished through me glorifies my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, not me or others. Lord I am weak, I am poor, I am broken. In you Lord, I am strong, I am rich, I am made whole. Lord, I am yours. Do with me as you will. -

I pray that my son will start attending church and feel God's awesome power as have. -
