Prayer Prompt March 2

Scripture

Joshua 3: 14-17

 When the people set out from their tents to cross over the Jordan, the priests bearing the ark of the covenant were in front of the people. Now the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of harvest. So when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the edge of the water, the waters flowing from above stood still, rising up in a single heap far off at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, while those flowing towards the sea of the Arabah, the Dead Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people crossed over opposite Jericho. While all Israel were crossing over on dry ground, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, until the entire nation finished crossing over the Jordan.

Prayer 

Almighty God, my heart shrinks when I consider your unlimited power and might. And then my heart takes strength when I realize how powerfully you protect and provide for us. Give me the courage of those priests who stepped boldly into the roaring flood, bravely trusting your promise of safety in the face of doom. Give me the stamina to step forward in the name of Jesus and present myself as a true servant, obedient to your commands. May I be bold in being a voice of peace and love and kindness at every turn.

Amen
