CHOOSE: A DANIEL-TYPE PRAYER

Frustrations were the "order of the day" yesterday, though I certainly didn't order it.
OOPS, I still had a choice in my response to all the snafus.
As Anne Graham Lotz reminds us in The Daniel Prayer, (p. 245) :
IF prayer is...

  • one of the supreme boys of your life,
  • the throbbing heartbeat of your relationship with God,
  • the nearest will be this side of Heaven,
  • our compass that helps keep us on the right path

....then why is it so hard?
Because prayer is a battle---a fight.
That's why, when I struggled yesterday to be clear minded and self-controlling, (1 Peter 4:7),
I used God's Word from Daniel 9:1-23.
I Chose a Daniel-type prayer.
