Now it was time for the early harvest, and the river was overflowing at flood stage. When the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests went in front of them carrying the ark of the covenant on their shoulders. The very moment the priests with the ark dipped their feet in the river’s edge, the water coming downstream toward them stopped flowing and piled up in a solid wall as far upstream as Adam, a place near Zarethan. YAHWEH completely cut off the flow of the river so that it drained downstream toward the Desert Sea (the Dead Sea). So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. Now the priests stood firmly on dry ground in the riverbed with the ark on their shoulders. The entire nation passed by the ark as they completed their miracle-crossing on dry ground.

Faith is the currency of God’s Kingdom, and it’s an essential ingredient in our prayers. Yet many believers pray without actually believing that their prayers are being answered and then wonder what went wrong. When we recognize the desires God has given us, trust his promises, and persevere in faith, we grow deeper in our prayers, stronger in our hope, and more confident in his responses.
