The Power of Prayer



The Power of Prayer

Daniel’s Prayer
Daniel 6:1-28

A Testimony of Faithfulness
> An Excellent Spirit (Verse 3)
> A Reputation above Reproach (Verse 4)
> A Dependability in Spiritual Disciplines (Verse 5)
An Environment of Hostility
> Opposition in Personal Relationships
- His Fellow Servants and Subordinates
- His King and Superior
- Opposition from Legal Authorities (Vs.6-10)
A Prayer of Undeniable Faith
> Daniel could not deny his faith. (Verse 10)
> The King could not deny Daniel’s faith. (Verse16)
> God did not deny Daniel’s faith (Verse 22)
A Series of Consequences
> The opposition was removed. (Verse 24)
> The Lord was Glorified (Verse 25-27)
> Daniel Prospered (Verse 28)

Daniel prayed, when the outlook was grim;
God intervened and protected him.
