Then he said, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer.“
Daniel 10:12

“There may be hindering factors of which a praying Christian knows nothing as he wonders why the answers to his requests are delayed. Nevertheless, he is to keep on praying. It may be that he will not receive an answer because he has given up on the twentieth day when he should have persisted to the twenty-first day.” – Gleason L. Archer

When I pray:

• God hears our prayers right away.
• The enemy works right away.

In our “21” days …

• Seek understanding through prayer, not the internet
• Stay humble, humbled through fasting… self-denial

How much angelic assistance or insight has never been realized, or greatly delayed, because of a lack of persistence in prayer?

OK… but:

• How long do I fast?
• How long do I seek?

I don’t know the answer to those questions, but I do know these verses.

• Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
  Matthew 6:33

• So, humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
  1 Peter 5:6

• Never stop praying.
  1 Thessalonians 5:17

‍

Daniel had a wonderful prophecy spoken over his life. How comforting!“As for you, go your way until the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for you.“
Daniel 12:13

My request has been heard. Seek understanding. Stay humble. God is working all things out for my good and His great glory.
