Daniel 9:10
"To the Lord our God belong mercies
and forgiveness, though we have
rebelled against him."
Daniel was a faithful man of prayer, however this prayer was different. Daniel prayed for the Nation of Israel no matter where they were, near or far away. Daniel believed in his God and was faithful in his service to Him. But in prayer Daniel does not leave himself out; for he prays, "We have sinned, we committed iniquity, we rebelled and neither have we obeyed. This my friends is a model prayer. A prayer brought before God for the sins of His people; by one man who Loved His God and all the people of his Nation. A prayer for the promise of rebuilding Jerusalem.
This prayer was not a selfish prayer. It was a God fearing, full of confession, backed up by faith, hope and trust in God. In Daniel's prayer there are two personnel traits that are felt, which all prayers brought before God should encase; "Boldness and Truth." Like Daniel we can pray for our nation and others, however; let us not forget that we have substantial sin upon our shoulders to confess to God.
Amen!!
