How important is prayer to you? is it only an emergence service?,lets turn to the book of Daniel,Daniel was in exile,but he and his three friends were promoted to high office.Let us think about Daniel,after King Belshazzar was overthrown by King Darius,Daniel was promoted to high office ,other ministers sought to remove him from power.They could find no fault with him,so this is what they did,they went to the King and convinced him to pass a law that forbid anyone to to pray to any god except to the king,for thirty days,it also stipulated that if anyone disobeyed, they would be thrown into a den of lions. When Daniel learned about it, he went to his room,got down on his knees and prayed, it was his custom to pray three times a day.The other ministers reported to the king how Daniel was praying,and he should be executed, the king could do nothing about it,and reluctantly agreed to it.So let us come back to the question I asked at the beginning,'How important is prayer to you?.
'We perish if we cease from prayer
O grant us power to pray'
