Cultivate a Lifestyle of Prayer - Daniel 6: 1-23
King Darius was about to bestow upon Daniel a great honor in Daniel 6. Daniel was about to achieve a moon size accomplishment. Through the favor of God, Daniel the slave rose to become governor in a foreign land. In a plot to destroy and discredit him before the king, the only charge the other governors and advisers could bring against Daniel was his fervent devotion to prayer. They knew Daniel depended and relied on God as his source. They banked on and took advantage of his commitment to maintaining his relationship with God. Ultimately, God came through for Daniel and put his enemies to shame.
Likewise, if you are to achieve your purpose in life, you must cultivate a lifestyle of prayer. Prayer is the catalyst for lift off and the sustaining power when you are in flight.
As children of God, we are strangers in this land because we belong to the Kingdom of God. Through prayer, God is able to speak to us and we are able to respond to Him. Prayer must not be a once in a while thing we do when there is trouble or when time permits. Prayer must be a priority and our daily habit. Make a decision from now on to devote yourself daily to prayer.
