Daniel's unwavering commitment to prayer, even when it became illegal under King Darius's decree, demonstrates the true value of a consistent prayer life. Despite knowing he would face the lions' den, Daniel maintained his thrice-daily prayer routine with windows open toward Jerusalem. His faithfulness cost him everything temporarily but ultimately influenced the king to acknowledge the true God. Daniel's example challenges us to develop consistent prayer habits that sustain us through both good times and trials, treating prayer not as an emergency measure but as essential as breathing.
