1. Allow Scripture to MOTIVATE us to pray.
  • Daniel 92 in the first year of his reign, I,
    Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according
    to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the
    prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would
    last seventy years.

2. Commit our lives in SEEKING the Lord.
  • Daniel 93 So I turned to the Lord God and
    pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in
    fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.

3. RECOGNIZE Gods greatness.
  • Daniel 94 I prayed to the Lord my God and
    confessed "O Lord, the great and awesome God,
    who keeps his covenant of love with all who love
    him and obey his commands,

4. Confess your SINS and the sins of our
nation.
  • Daniel 95 we have sinned and done wrong. We have
    been wicked and have rebelled we have turned
    away from your commands and laws.

6
Five types of sin to confess
  • We have sinned - (to disobey Gods Word)
  • We have done wrong - (giving into sin lust)
  • We have been wicked - (filthy, immoral
    behavior)
  • We have rebelled - (telling God no. Living
    my way)
  • We have turned away from truth - (going astray)

5. Ask God to VINDICATE His people.
  • Daniel 916 O Lord, in keeping with all your
    righteous acts, turn away your anger and your
    wrath from Jerusalem, your city, your holy hill.
    Our sins and the iniquities of our fathers have
    made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn
    to all those around us.

8
6. Ask God in the right ATTITUDE.
  • Daniel 918 Give ear, O 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.

9
7. Ask God for His BLESSINGS.
  • Daniel 919 O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O
    Lord, hear and act! For your sake, O my God, do
    not delay, because your city and your people bear
    your Name."

Gods Response
  • Daniel 920-23 While I was speaking and praying,
    confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel
    and making my request to the Lord my God for his
    holy hill-- while I was still in prayer, Gabriel,
    the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to
    me in swift flight about the time of the evening
    sacrifice. He instructed me and said to me,
    "Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and
    understanding. As soon as you began to pray, an
    answer was given, which I have come to tell you,
    for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider
    the message and understand the vision
