“How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you? 

Lord God my Father,

Give me obedience that will not wait, but act swiftly and completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“I myself will drive these people out of the land ahead of the Israelites. 

Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord, the God of Israel.

Lord God my Father,

I know you are all powerful and don’t need my help. Give me strength to do your will for me without hesitation and serve you well. Help me to claim what you desire me to have with boldness and delight.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

We have heard of the might of the Lord your God and of all he did in Egypt. 

So the Israelites examined their food, but they did not consult the Lord.

The Lord threw them into a panic, and the Israelites slaughtered great numbers of them at Gibeon. 

Is this event not recorded in The Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day. 14There has never been a day like this one before or since, when the Lord answered such a prayer. Surely the Lord fought for Israel that day!

He completely destroyed everyone in the land, leaving no survivors, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded. 

Joshua conquered all these kings and their land in a single campaign, for the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for his people.

Lord God my Father,

Your reputation speaks for itself, help me to reflect it, giving you all the glory. Keep me from decisions on my own and protect me from deceit. Throw the enemy into confusion and direct me on how to fight for you. Give me a faith that truly knows you and your ability to do anything you want. Restore my family to your design and help us to represent you well in all times, good and bad. Cause my battles to release your Glory at all times.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

When all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings who lived along the Mediterranean coast heard how the Lord had dried up the Jordan River so the people of Israel could cross, they lost heart and were paralyzed with fear because of them.

“Are you friend or foe?” 14“Neither one,” he replied. “I am the commander of the Lord’s army.” At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. “I am at your command,” Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to do?”

They completely destroyed everything in it with their swords—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, goats, and donkeys.

So the Lord was with Joshua, and his reputation spread throughout the land.

 I wanted them so much that I took them.

Lord God my Father,

Strike fear in the heart of evil marching to take this nation. Give us, your people, courage to stand up in your presence and allow you to defeat the enemy as you desire. Give us heart for your design and not rely on ourselves. Help us to gather and be obedient to the commander of the Lord’s army. Help me to not be overwhelmed by the discomfort my limited wisdom can accept and trust your command as you speak it. Be with me and protect me from my sinful desires.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
