Pray with fervor, passion and audacity

Search the Scriptures

Daniel, do not be afraid, because from the first day when you had at heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard [...]. The chief of the kingdom of Persia resisted me for twenty-one days ; but behold, Michael [...] has come to my rescue. Daniel 10.12-13.

Daniel prayed and sought God, but for days he received no answer. He must have asked himself questions like : "Why doesn't God answer me ?" ; "Did I displease him ?" ; "Am I guilty of sin ?"

He finally received an answer. His prayers had been heard from day one. So why had nothing happened? Because there was spiritual warfare in the celestial world. God had sent an answer, but it only reached Daniel 21 days after his prayer, and only because the Archangel Michael helped the messenger through.

Today, remember that you too are engaged in a spiritual battle. The devil and his demons are thieves who seek to steal your joy, steal God's blessings from you, destroy God's work in your life, block you in any way possible, and delay God's responses to your prayers.

The battle is real. These are intense fights. Remember that God has given you spiritual authority: "Put on all the armor of God so that you can stand firm against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11).

Also remember that you have to be persistent. Pray with fervor, passion and boldness. If you don't get a response right away, don't give up. Have faith. God hears your prayers. He will answer you !

Listen the voice of God

Let's take the time to listen to what God wants to say. Maybe you were about to give up... God is now rekindling the flame of your faith.

Praying is simple. Speak to God as you would your closest friend. God loves you and he can hear everything. Here is an example of a prayer : "Father, help me in spiritual warfare. I believe in you for victory ! Thank you for hearing my prayers. I will not give up! Thank you because I can trust you. Amen. "

Praise God

To praise God is to express our gratitude to him. Today, what are your subjects of recognition ? Take a time to thank the Lord.

Act today

Now, deepen what you have received. What can you put in place to apply what God has told you ? Write down concrete actions you can take.

Honor the Lord

Our journey for the day ends. Let us pray together to honor our God.

"Lord, I thank you because, when you speak, the thing happens; when you command, it exists. Yours is the reign, the power and the glory, amen !"
