Daniel 10

Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them."  -Daniel 10:12

-Don't be Afraid
-Set your Mind
-Gain Understanding
-Humble Yourself


Daniel 10 has an awesome story of how much goes on in the unseen world of angels when we pray.  The angel tells Daniel that he was on his way ever since Daniel first prayed but was detained by the Prince of Persia until another angel came and helped him!  Wow...  do you ever imagine all that is happening in the heavenlies when you pray?  Crazy!  I honestly don't think about that too often!  Persevere in your prayers!  Daniel had been fasting and praying for three weeks!  Who knows what your angel is up to in the unseen realm!  What a challenge!  


I like the basics the angel pointed out that Daniel did.  He set his mind and focused. His prayer was to gain understanding.  And he stayed humble.  In response, his prayer was heard and the angel came!  What a faithful man of God Daniel was all throughout his life.  And what awesome power is all around us!  Open the eyes of our hearts, Lord!  Help us fix our eyes on You and seek You faithfully!
