Prayer And The Prophetic#RTTBROS #Nightlight "O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee." - Daniel 9:7 (KJV) In times of national crisis, we often find ourselves searching for answers. Daniel, a man of God living in exile, provides us with a powerful example of how to approach the Lord during such times. As we witness the moral decline in our own nation, we can draw inspiration from Daniel's heartfelt prayer of repentance and intercession. Daniel's prayer begins with a humble acknowledgment of God's greatness and faithfulness, followed by a sincere confession of the sins of his people. He doesn't point fingers or make excuses; instead, he takes responsibility for the collective transgressions of the nation. This attitude of humility and repentance is something we desperately need in our churches and communities today. Like Daniel, we must recognize that our nation has largely rejected God, pushing Him aside and telling Him to "mind His own business." We've given God His "walking papers," so to speak. Yet, have we, as the church, truly been broken over this state of affairs? Have we, like Daniel, approached the throne of grace with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes, pleading for God's mercy and restoration? Daniel's prayer reminds us that righteousness belongs to God alone, while confusion of face belongs to us due to our sins. This humble admission opens the door for God's forgiveness and intervention. As we look at the spiritual landscape of our nation, we must follow Daniel's example and earnestly seek God's face, confessing our corporate sins and asking for His mercy. Moreover, Daniel's faithfulness throughout his life positioned him to receive divine revelation. God entrusted him with a vision that spanned from his time to the end of human history. This teaches us that our day-to-day obedience to God's will can lead to greater spiritual insight and usefulness in His kingdom. Let us, therefore, take up the mantle of intercessory prayer for our nation. May we, like Daniel, pray with fervor and faith, believing that our prayers can influence the spiritual realm and bring about God's will on earth. As we do so, let us also commit to living lives of faithfulness and obedience, becoming the salt and light our world so desperately needs in these challenging times.
