Warrior Prayers...Day Sixteen

Prayers for Day Sixteen

Daniel’s faithfulness is unrivaled by any other man in Scripture.  He was ripped from his home in Israel, held captive in Babylon and served as advisor to a king who threw his friends into a fiery furnace.  If there was ever someone who could have questioned God, Daniel would seem to be justified in his questioning.  However, young Daniel remained faithful to the sovereign God of his fathers.  In fact, the advisors to King Darius “could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him.” Daniel 6:4

My prayer, my hope, my great desire is that my sons are 21^st century Daniels. 

May my sons be “youths without blemish…competent to stand in the king’s palace.” (ch. 1, v. 4).  May they “resolve not to defile” themselves (ch. 1, v. 8) and be willing to “yield up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God”. (ch. 3, v. 28)

If they are able to remain faithful to the one true God, may those who come against them one day be able to say as King Nebuchadnezzar, “I…praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.” (ch. 4, v. 37)  Because isn’t that what it is all about…our faithfulness leading the lost to the One who embodies steadfast love and faithfulness?

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
    I will sing praises to you among the nations.

For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
    Let your glory be over all the earth! (Psalm 57:9-11)
