Submit To Him And Trust Him

 Throughout his short life, Daniel had developed such a close fellowship with the Lord that his ears were open to God's voice and his heart was open to the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
 Daniel did not become proud that HE had been chosen by God to have this revelation. He did not start to crow over his friends that HE rather than they had received the answer. Daniel was willing to seek the Lord, to hear from Him, to be used by Him, and to give God all the glory and praise forever and ever, because he knew that all wisdom and power, might, majesty, dominion, and authority belonged to GOD.
 In this world that is disintegrating before our eyes, how important it is to seek the Lord when pressures and problems mount up in our lives. May we acknowledge that in our own strength we can do nothing - but how we praise God that we can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens us. May we readily remember that no matter what difficulties and dangers we may have to face, that the Lord has scheduled every day of our lives and will use us to carry out His plans and purposes if we are willing to Submit To Him And Trust Him in all things.
Daniel 2:20 and said: “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of unshakable faith we see in the lives of Daniel when faced with an impossible task. Increase our faith, we pray, and help us to follow his wise example by bringing everything to You in prayer and supplication when confronted by the difficulties and dangers of life... knowing that ALL wisdom, knowledge, power, and preeminence, belongs to You. Give us godly courage and a childlike trust in You, and we pray that we would not falter when faced with challenging circumstances but look to You alone - for You have promised to be with us in every eventuality of life and are worthy of all our praise and worship forever and ever. This we pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.
