但以理的禱告—-但以理書10:12-13［他就說：但以理啊, 不要懼怕！因為從你第一日專心求明白將來的事, 又在你神面前刻苦己心, 你的言語已蒙應允, 我是因你的言語而來. 但波斯國的魔君攔阻我二十一日, 忽然有大君/天使長中的一位米迦勒來幫助我, 我就停留在波斯王那裏.］但以理的禱告, 不但蒙神垂聽, 並且驚動了撒但的使者, 阻攔神對他的禱告長達21天之久. 我們的禱告若是可有可無, 或是鷄毛蒜皮之事, 恐怕不但不能上達天聽, 連小鬼也置若罔聞. 但以理在艱苦和試煉的環境中, 使他堅持下來的是他持續的禱告生活, 他每天禱告三次. 當掌權者禁止人們尋求神的時候, 他沒有改變與神的交通, 而且持續不斷的尋求神的啓示. 當嫉妒和邪惡的陰謀來謀害他時, 但以理持續的禱告. 當他被丟進獅子坑時, 但以理持續的禱告. 上帝在災難中保守但以理的性命, 完成他的命定. 我們應效法但以理持續禱告的屬靈生活, 使我們也能面對一切挑戰而能得勝.
Daniel’s Prayer—Daniel 10:12-13 [Then he said: Don’t be afraid, Daniel! For from the first day you devoted yourself to seeking to understand the things to come and tried your heart before your God, your words were heard, and I came because of your words. But the prince of Persia withstood me for twenty-one days. , suddenly Michael, one of the great kings/archangels, came to help me, and I stayed at the king of Persia.] Daniel’s prayer was not only heard by God, but also alerted Satan’s angels to hinder God. We prayed to him for 21 days. If our prayers are optional or trivial, I am afraid that not only will they not reach heaven, but even the devils will turn a deaf ear to them. Daniel was in a difficult and trying environment , what made him persevere was his continuous prayer life, he prayed three times a day. When the authorities prohibited people from seeking God, he did not change his communication with God, and continued to seek God’s revelation. When jealous and evil people When a conspiracy came against him, Daniel continued to pray. When he was thrown into the lion’s den, Daniel continued to pray. God preserved Daniel’s life in the disaster and fulfilled his destiny. We should imitate Daniel. A spiritual life of continuous prayer enables us to face all challenges and overcome them.
