The Prophet's Prayer Life

Daniel is one of the few individuals in Scripture about whom nothing negative is ever written. How did he live a life of such conviction and courage? What was the secret that enabled him to please and glorify God so consistantly?
A number of answers could be given, but consider this. Time and again, Daniel is revealed to be a man who prayed faithfully. You'l find his key prayers in 2:17-23; 6:10-11; and 9:1-3.
No matter what circumstances he faced- and he faced some very treacherous ones- no matter how busy his schedule was, he found time to commune with God through prayer. As a matter of fact, the awesome revelations of chapters 10-12 were given to Daniel by God as a direct answer to his prayers (10:10-12)
We can gain much insight into the lives of the prophets of God. Certainly, they were uniquely chosen by God for a unique task. And yet their lives were set apart for that purpose through their heartfelt devotion to God- a devotion that was fueled by fervent prayer.

Fuzzy Glasses 1 Corinthians 13:12

"For now we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, as I am fully known." (1 Corinthinans 13:12)
In the imperfect polished metal mirrors of Paul's day, one could see only a fuzzy reflection. The apostle notes that, in contrast to seeing God clearly in heaven, we can see Him only indirectly while we are on earth.
But the promise remains that someday, we will know the Lord as fully as a finite human can know an infinite Being. As you talk with Him in prayer today, thank Him for this glorious promise.
