The Lord's Blessings Of Hearing, And Answering Prayer

                                          Daniel 2:19
                    "Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel
                             in a night vision. Then Daniel
                               blessed the God of heaven."


        Behold!  The prevalence of prayer.  Oh, what would prayer be with out faith in Christ?  When God the Holy Ghost gives a spirit of prayer, and leads the soul in Jesus, so that we wrestle, as Jacob did; and act in faith, as Elijah did; what mercies may not be expected to follow.   As soon as the Lord revealed unto him the secret, he first poured out his whole soul in praise to the great Author of mercy. He did not hasten to the King of Babylon before he had first blessed the King of kings for his grace. There were numberless mercies Daniel found grace to be thankful for; and no doubt under the sense he had of the Lord’s favor, his heart was melted before the Lord.  There are other beautiful instance like this throughout God's Word.  I ask, are there nothing in all these instances, and which we read in the history of God’s people, which is suited to you and to me, as they refer to our state and circumstances? Surely, Daniel’s success in prayer, and the Lord’s blessing in hearing, and answering prayer, will leave us without excuse, if we neglect to visit the throne, upon any and every occasion; especially in the times, we live in today.  Let us thank God for this bright example of Daniel, to stir up thy redeemed to this most blessed and sure rewarding service, that we may bring all our concerns before thee, and by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, and make all our requests known unto you, "Our Almighty God"
        Amen!!
