praying God's word.



Regarding Daniel's prayer in Daniel 9:

"He had with him an old manuscript of the prophet Jeremiah. He read
that through. Perceiving such and such things spoken of, he prayed for
them. Perceiving such and such a time given, and knowing that that time
was almost come, he prayed the more earnestly! Oh! that you studied your
Bibles more! Oh! that we all did! How we could plead the promises! How we
could plead the promises! How often we should prevail with God when we
could hold him to his word, and say, "Fulfill this word unto thy servant,
whereon thou hast caused me to hope." Oh! it is grand praying when our
mouth is full of God's word, for there is no word that can prevail with
him like his own."

-Charles Spurgeon

Daniel was dedicated to prayer. We can learn from his passion to pray.
Prayers filled with God's words and promises - That is something that I am looking forward to taking hold of.
