Praying Big Prayers
Last year I read the book “Sun Stand Still” by Steven Furtick. It is SUCH a great book! After reading it there were several things that I made my “Sun Stand Still” prayers for the year. Some things were sins that seemed hopeless to overcome on my own, others were goals and things I wanted to grow and excel in, and some were prayers for other people. As I was going through my journals and looking back at this past year I am literally blown away at how God has answered those prayers so specifically. They are things that I prayed in faith even though they seemed impossible to me at the time.
So… this year I decided that every year I am going make “Sun Stand Still” prayers instead of New Years resolutions. The truth is that if we try to make resolutions on our own we might make a little progress, but statistics show that most people’s New Years resolutions last 3 months at the most, and I know this has often been the case for me in the past. But, if we pray BIG, FAITH-FILLED PRAYERS we will see God work mightily in our lives and we will experience His goodness and faithfulness in new ways. I hope this encourages someone to step out in faith this year and pray big prayers to a big God. This year you have the potential to grow and draw closer to God more than ever before!
