Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15.

The title of today's post, Sunday was the Capstone.

God does not require perfect prayers.

In Joshua 10, the Army of Israel was defending the Ghibeon, a people under attack, and with whom they were

in covenant. To finish this task and fully defeat the enemy, Israel needed to act before

darkness set in, which was approaching quickly. So Joshua took audacious action. Joshua 10, verse 12 says, then spake Joshua to the Lord

in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. And he said,

in the sight of Israel, son, stand thou still upon Gibbean and thou moon in the valley of Azulon.

And God answered this inaccurate prayer.

We know it wasn't actually the sun that needed to stand still, but rather the earth in order for this

incredible miracle to occur. The earth's rotation causes day and night, not the sons.

When Joshua asked for the sun to stand still, one can almost hear an angel or two respond, well, we can't answer that prayer.

To which the Lord evidently responded, give him a break. You know what he wants. Give him more

daylight. Joshua received what he needed, not what he asked for. I'm glad that we don't have to ask

perfectly in order for God to answer. To pray against Satan's lies from succeeding, we don't need

to know the exact lie. To pray against assassination attempts of leaders, we don't need to know the exact lie. To pray against assassination attempts of leaders,

we don't need to know which leader or when it might occur. To pray against the influence of

demons over individuals, we aren't required to know all the details. And to rededicate a nation to God we don't need perfect prayers from

perfect people don't misunderstand me wonderful prayers were prayed all day long

at the rededication 250 event this past Sunday. I wasn't able to hear all of them,

but those I did hear were heartfelt and sincere. Granted, I don't pray like Catholics,

Jewish rabbis, or many, even many in the evangelical world.
