And the man said to me, “Daniel, you are very precious to God, so listen carefully to what I have to say to you. Stand up, for I have been sent to you.”
Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!”
And some of the wise will fall victim to persecution. In this way, they will be refined and cleansed and made pure until the time of the end,
Lord God,
I know I am precious to you, why do I doubt your desire and pursue my own. Lord God, soften my heart so I may do your will and not justify the compromise in my walk. Help me to see your victory over this world and not fall victim to my weakness.
In Jesus name,
Amen
