Daniel 6 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Daniel 6.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/dan/6/1/s_856001

Meditate on verse 16b.

 

Your God whom you constantly

serve will Himself deliver you.

 

Approximately 66 years passed between Daniel 1 and 6.  This familiar story of Daniel and the lions’ den happened when Daniel was in his 80’s; he faithfully served in government jobs his entire adult life.  Working for pagan bosses in a land that was not his home, Daniel did not compromise His Godly values.  He was so faithful the only thing he could be found guilty of was being faithful (v. 5).

 

This chapter contains many of Daniel’s Godly characteristics.  Treasure hunt the chapter for qualities you want the LORD to make permanent in your life and the lives of those you love.

Pray Daniel 6:3-4, 10, 16, 23, and 26-28 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, help ___________ and me distinguish ourselves

because we possess Your extraordinary Spirit. 

Make us faithful; let no negligence or

corruption be found in us.  No matter

what happens keep us kneeling,

praying, and giving thanks before You, God.

God, may we constantly serve You!  God deliver

 us from evil.  Let no injury be found on us

because we trust in You, God. 

Let everyone fear and tremble before

 You, God, for You are the living God, enduring

forever.  Your kingdom is one which will

 not be destroyed, and Your dominion will be forever. 

You deliver and rescue and perform signs

 and wonders in heaven and on earth. 

You have also delivered ___________ from

the power of __________.  Please let us enjoy success.

In Your name, Jesus~”
