"Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened towards Jerusalem.  Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before"
Daniel 6:10 (NIV)

Daniel was a very old man who trusted God absolutely.  The decree mentioned above
was that no one was to pray to anyone except the king for the next month on penalty of death in the den of lions.  We know the end of the story!  How will we, as believers, react in an increasingly anti-christian society?  The phrase 'dare to be a Daniel' comes to mind.  We will have to make a choice! 

When we experience troubles and difficulties in our lives it is easy to sink in the waves of our experience.  That is not the way God wants us to handle these tough times.  The Spirit of God, in the words of holy Scripture tells us to "Look up!. Hard as it may be, there is much value in singing a song of praise in the midst of the heartache.  Find a short chorus that sets the Lord upon His throne and use it to fight back when you feel down and defeated!.  The Lord Jesus IS coming!

Jesus said "I tell you the truth, no-one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again"
                                          John 3:3 (NIV)
Jesus did not give Nicodemus a choice.  There is only one way to see the kingdom of God

PRAYER FOR TURKEY AND SYRIA

God of Mercy we pray for the people of Turkey and Syria following the recent earthquakes.  We mourn the death and destruction and pray for those who have died and those who grieve.
Lord, bring them comfort, strength and renewed hope.  Sustain and guide all those responding to this disaster. Bring courage to those in Syria whose country has already been devastated by war, let your arms enfold them and bring them comfort. Inspire their leaders to unite in solidarity, acting swiftly so that help may reach all who need it.
In the name of Jesus.
AMEN


Lord Jesus.  You came that the world might know the peace that You have experienced with the Father eternally.  Yet, you taught us that in this lifetime there will be wars and rumours of wars.  Nations will rise against nations as violence works itself out in the world. However, through You, the world may be saved. O Lord send Your spirit into the hearts of all men, that the world might know true peace through Your abundant mercy. We pray for all the leaders of the world to govern rightly.  Let all the presidents, governors and prime ministers carry out their duties according to Your leadership.  Give them wisdom to lead the world according to Your will.  We pray that You direct all leaders to make the best decisions for the world.

In the name of Jesus.
Amen.
                                                                                                                                     

We have such a wealth of treasure in God's Word, the scriptures. Everything we could ever need is provided for us."
