Our presidential election is only days away, but our nation’s problems will not end on November 4th. In fact, they might even get worse. We might not even know the outcome of the election for days or even weeks.
Our hearts break to see our once flourishing country divided and filled with such hatred. We are still plagued with the Corona virus, and the economic impact of that disease has far-reaching effects.
Most of us are fervently praying for our election results and for our nation to heal, but I know I haven’t prayed for America the way Daniel prayed for his beloved homeland.
Daniel had been swept up as a teen when Babylon took Judah captive. He had grown up and served under many rulers in Babylonian captivity, but never once did Daniel forsake his God. Daniel prayed three times daily for his people with his windows open toward Jerusalem. Daniel reminds me of Job, such a godly man, as righteous as any human could possibly be.
Yet, observe how Daniel prayed.
