Daniel 10 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Daniel 10.

Meditate on verse 12.

 

Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel, for

from the first day that you set your heart on

understanding this and on humbling

yourself before your God, your words were

heard, and I have come in response to your words.

 

Contrast Daniel’s anguish and lack of strength with the man in linen’s care for Daniel.  Daniel was at the end of himself, yet despite being so weak and scared, Daniel set his mind to understand God’s message.  God sent the man in linen in response to Daniel’s prayers, strengthening and giving him even more understanding of God’s Word.

 

Do not grow weary and lose heart in prayer and reading the Bible.  As you abide in Christ and His Word, God will touch you again and strengthen you (v. 18).  A miracle happens every time you feel like you cannot take another step, yet you open your Bible to receive God’s peace, strength, and encouragement for another day.

 

Pray Daniel 10:12, 18-19, and 21 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, please make ___________ and me like Daniel. 

Let us set our hearts on understanding Your Word

 and humbling ourselves before You, God.

LORD, hear our prayers and come in response to

our words.  Please touch us again and strengthen us.

Let us hear You say, ‘O ___________ of high

esteem, do not be afraid.  Peace be

with you; take courage and be courageous!’

As soon as You speak to us, we receive strength. 

LORD, continue to speak because You

have strengthened us.  Continue to tell us

what is in Your Writing of Truth.

In Your name, Jesus~”
