The Prayer Filled Life – Day 72 – Daniel 6:10 – As He Had Always Done – Growing As Disciples
But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God. Daniel 6:10 (NLT)
A Pattern
Is this what you want? Would you like this to be a pattern in your life? Would you like to be like Daniel? Would you like to meet with me in prayer? Would you like to live in an ongoing and intimate relationship with me? Would you like to be able to know and do my will? Would you like to know where I am leading you? Would you like to know what I am asking of you? Would you like to remain in me so that you can bear fruit for my kingdom and bring glory to my name? Would you like to be a bold and bright witness for me in the world? Would you like to be sustained and strengthened through the difficult days and trying times that are part of this life? Would you like to set aside times throughout your day for us to meet in prayer? That is the key isn’t it. What is the key? Meeting with you in prayer is the answer to all your questions. If I want to live in and ongoing and intimate relationship with you, I will meet with you in prayer. If I want to hear your voice guiding me through life, I will meet with you in prayer. If I want to know where you are guiding me and what you are asking of me, I will meet with you in prayer. If I want to bear fruit for your kingdom and bring glory to your name, I will meet with you in prayer. If I want to be sustained and strengthened through all the difficult and trying times in life, I will meet with you in prayer. You understand your need to meet with me in prayer quite well. Yes, I guess, I do.
Will you meet with me in prayer, at times, throughout your day? Will you go deep with me in prayer? Will you become a prayer warrior? Will you allow me to teach and train you in prayer? Will you live a full life of prayer with me? There is no place I would rather be than in your presence. There is nothing I would rather do than meet with you in prayer. There is no better choice I could make than to live in an intimate relationship with you. So yes, I will meet with you in prayer at times throughout my day. Let’s begin today. Let’s begin right now, at this very moment. That will be very good.
Lord, I want to live in an intimate relationship with you. I want to abide in you. I want to rely on you. I want to hear your voice guiding and guarding me through life. I want to be able to know and do your will. I will set aside daily times to meet with you in prayer. Amen
