Read Daniel 9.20-23

“‘.. As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed ..’” (Dan.9.23)

Daniel’s life was regulated by the worship of God (v.21) and prayer was an integral part of that whole pattern of life. Here he’s given the assurance that an answer had been given, barely before the words of prayer had crossed his lips.

Have there been times when the ‘answer’ to your praying has seen you being given ‘insight and understanding’?

Is your praying too much for your own sake, and too little for God’s sake (see vv.17, 19)?

Prayer: In my distress I called to You, O Lord, and You answered me, You listened to my cry: with a song of thanksgiving I will offer a daily sacrifice of praise to You.
