In this episode, we continue our verse-by-verse sermon series through the book of Daniel. Here, we come to Daniel 9:1-19, where the prophet prays for forgiveness and mercy for the people of God. Daniel "turns his face to the Lord," and begs God for covenant mercies. Having read the prophecy of Jeremiah 25:8-14, Daniel is now assured that the Exile is coming to an end after seventy years. In this sermon, we define prayer, look to the One to whom prayer is addressed, and then identify some of its characteristics. We conclude with three things that prayer is not.
