Daniel 9:3a
“Then I set my face before the Lord God to make request in prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.”
This is one of the great chapters of prayer in the Bible. Here Daniel is interceding for the nation of Israel, asking God to have mercy on them and forgiveness for their rebellion and disobedience. By all indications this prayer took most of the day as we see later in the verse that it was done with fasting.
The most important area of service that we can do for our King and His kingdom is to pray – and more so as we see the Day of the Lord approaching.
The Truth
“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36)
