When Joshua was pursuing a ruthless enemy in battle, he prayed a ridiculous, brazen prayer – “God, freeze the sun and moon where they are so we can keep this battle going!” And the crazy thing is, God responded. The sun and moon stood still. What gave Joshua the boldness to pray such a ridiculous prayer? 1) God had already promised him complete victory, and in Joshua’s mind, this is what it would take to see God’s promise fulfilled. 2) Joshua spent a lot of time in the presence of God, so He know God’s heart.
