“Partnering For Prayers”
Saturday, March 1, 2025Key Verse
“That they would desire mercies of God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon” (Daniel 2:18).
Text —Daniel 2:13-22
Message
When we pray, we make our desires known to God. Charles Spurgeon taught that, “A true prayer is an inventory of needs, catalogue of necessities, an exposure of secret wounds, a revelation of hidden poverty.” The Bible is replete with God’s answers to corporate prayers of His people. Jesus says, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20).
The youths, in our text, were confronted with a formidable decree of death by an angry King, Nebuchadnezzar. Young Daniel knew that only God could stop the king from killing all the wise men. He proclaimed a corporate prayer with his three faithful Hebrew friends. “Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision.” God still reveals secrets and hidden wisdom to those who seek Him today. When your burden seems too heavy for you, tell it to fellow faithful believers. Pray with them over it. God will answer your prayer. Set time to fellowship with God in united prayer with believers. Do you also pray with your family?
