Prayer Starter - Thursday, August 7, 2025 - Consistent and Bold Prayers
Top of the Morning to Each of You -
Daniel had a consistent and bold prayer life. In Daniel chapter 6, King Darius was persuaded by some of his officials to sign in a law that no one could petition any “god or man except the king”. If they did, they would be thrown in the lion’s den. Does this sound familiar?!
“When Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house. The windows in its upper room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before” (Daniel 6:10).
You may remember that Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den, but God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions and he was brought out unharmed in the morning. Daniel faithfully prayed, even at the threat of death. He chose to remain faithful and to please God over man.
Like Daniel, a true prayer warrior prays boldly, choosing to honor God rather than seek the approval of people. While we may not face the threat of death as Daniel did, we often face other challenges. We might worry about what others think when we pray before a meal or feel unsure about how they’ll react if we offer to pray for them.
Like Daniel, a prayer warrior prays on a regular basis, not just in a crisis. That's how one builds a relationship, too. Communicating regularly and often.
Heavenly Father, we praise Your name, for You are a good, good God. You are the king of kings, Lord of lords! Your name is excellent!
Lord, I have been praying so I can be closer to You. Help me to become a prayer warrior, unafraid of who sees me praying or who hears my prayers. Shut the jaws of my enemies. I am praying to You, Lord for I want to praise You in all I do.
Continue your prayer
In Jesus Name, Amen
