To divine revelation and wisdom. He fervently sought the face of the Lord in prayers and fasting: “Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes” (v.3 cf vv.21,22).
Our God remains the Omniscient God. None of His Divine attributes will ever diminish. Just as Daniel sought His face in prayers and got an understanding of his time and dispensation, we can also seek His face in the midst of religious crises, political instability, corruption, incessant killings and all kinds of evil and crises we are experiencing in our personal lives, Church and nation.
He promises to answer us when we call on Him. Jeremiah 33:3 says, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
PRAYER: O Lord grant us the burden to pray until we receive answers in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen
