The Daniel Prayer
“O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.
Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.”
Daniel 9:4-5, 18-19 NIV
“There is nothing...nothing...no politics or president, no government, no institute or organization, no media or ministry, no economy or military, no alliance or treaty...nothing will turn our nation around except prayer.
Heartfelt, desperate prayer. Prayer where the pray-era rend their hearts, return to the Cross, and repent of personal and national sin. And that’s the Daniel Prayer, Daniel 9:3, “So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sack cloth and ashes”
