Sun Stand Still!

Around a month ago, Michael did a series at Oak Leaf. The last message of the series was about praying sun stand still prayers. Sun stand still prayers are ment to be bold and impossible. To me, they are meant to be a little bit scary. Here is my reasoning behind it- sun stand stil prayers require you to be vulenerable. They require you to revert to a child-like faith. This is also the best part of having a sun stand still prayer. A child-like faith requires that you put all faith in God--nothing less. It requires you to reveal your deepest desire and open your heart to God so that only he can fill it--the ultimate show of faith. Here is what I am praying for:

1. I am praying that God changes my house. I am praying that every single person in here is changed for the glory of God.

2. I am praying that God gives me the money and a large enough scholorship to not have to take out a student loan. It terrifies me to be in debt. Yes, it's weird, I know.

3. I am praying that God works through me to change someone's life.

4. I am praying that God helps me to find a full time job. Thank you monster.com

I know that God can change people's lives, but sometimes I wonder if it will ever happen. Sometimes my house seems so helpless. I have no idea where all of the money will come from for school. I don't know how to get the money either. I do not know when in the world I will find a job. That definitely seems like a hopeless situation. I don't consider myself an amazing person, and I know that I will never be able to change someone's life. I do know that I am ready for God to put me into an amazing situation though.

I can't wait to see what God does in my life. I can't wait for God to answer my sun stand still prayer. I can't wait to find out what my next sun stand still prayer will be.
