Daniels's answer

Daniel’s answer If you are like I am, there is probably something you have been praying for almost daily for some time without seeing the answer you expect. It gets hard. Sometimes I find myself asking, how long? I get impatient because I just know if this one thing would happen … and I fill in the blanks about how much better life would be. Thing is, I can’t stop praying. For one, if I stop praying, who will? I am the watchman on the wall with the task of not being quiet as long as there is a threat of danger. It doesn’t matter who else is praying, or if the person I am praying for is conscious of a need for God’s intervention, or if I am just agreeing with them in prayer. I must do my part. Persevere. Press. Even when it seems all I fear is already happening. I must continue to pray. That’s what Daniel did and he discovered after twenty-one days, persistence pays. Just as he remained diligent in his faith and sealed it with fasting, let us also resolve not to stop praying. Maybe we have been crying out for way longer than twenty-one days. It may even be closer to twenty-one years. Still don’t stop. God will send an angel with your answer.
