Prayer and Confession

Faith in Action

A Living Faith in God

A Prayer for an Obedient Faith

Daniel 9:20-24 The Message 

20-21 “While I was pouring out my heart, baring my sins and the sins of my people Israel, praying my life out before my God, interceding for the holy mountain of my God—while I was absorbed in this praying, the humanlike Gabriel, the one I had seen in an earlier vision, approached me, flying in like a bird about the time of evening worship.
22-23 “He stood before me and said, ‘Daniel, I have come to make things plain to you. You had no sooner started your prayer when the answer was given. And now I’m here to deliver the answer to you. You are much loved! So listen carefully to the answer, the plain meaning of what is revealed:
24 “‘Seventy sevens are set for your people and for your holy city to throttle rebellion, stop sin, wipe out crime, set things right forever, confirm what the prophet saw, and anoint The Holy of Holies.

For Reflection

David looked into his soul. His God whispers came in a dream vision. From deep in the heart of David's being, God confirmed God's love for David and instructed him to righteous action.  Listen to Christ in your soul. Be guided from the center of your spiritual self.

Pray

Let your prayer be an insistence on justice for all peoples. Let your action honor God in prayer.
