Monday, July 2: Daniel 9 - Banking on the mercy of God.

Daniel prays a powerful prayer much of which connects with me, particularly the opening sections. Within the opening section it was verse 18 which spoke most deeply to me. Give ear, O God, and hear; open your eyes …. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.

Daniel captures the heart of repentance and prayer.  We come before God, not because we are good, but because God is kind and merciful.

I spent time thinking about God’s mercy. What joy! What wonder filled my soul!

Oh, God, I am in awe of Your love and mercy and kindness. What can I say beyond Thank You and Bless You? Through Jesus, I pray. Amen.
