Daniel Series Study Sheet Week 10—May 14 Text: Daniel ch.9 Message Title: Prayer

Read Daniel ch.9

What impression do you get of Daniel from his prayer in v4-19?

Which part of this prayer do you find the most challenging or encouraging?

Read v19. Do you feel like God hears your prayers? Why or why not?

What difference would it make if we truly believed God welcomed and listened to every prayer we prayed?

Most of Daniel’s prayer is a prayer of confession. Why is confession important?

How can we confess our sins to God without descending down into self-pity, guilt and shame?

Read Psalm 51:1-2. How could you use this Psalm in your prayers of confession?

The final phrase in Daniel 9:19 is “Lord, hear and act.” Reuben talked about replacing the word ‘act’ with another verb of our own that expresses our request to God, for ourselves or for others. Which word would you use in the spaces below:

   

For ourselves or our family: “Lord, hear and ___________” For someone we know personally: “Lord, hear and ____________” For a problem in our city or country: “Lord, hear and ________________” For a need in another country: “Lord, hear and ______________”
