“How to pray the kind of prayer God answers!”

Daniel 9:1-23

“God be faithful to your Words”, and Daniel pleaded with Him for this

How should I pray?

Step 1 - Let God speak to you before you speak to Him -Daniel 9:1-2 -John 15:7 -Read the Bible first! -Jeremiah 29:10-12

Two factors: God’s timing and My praying -James 4:2

Step 2 - Focus my attention on God -Daniel 9:3 - turned my face - gave my attention to -Turning your face gives attention -Look up! -Amos 5:4 Proverbs 8:17 Jeremiah 29:13 Hebrews 11: 6 Luke 12:31

Hosea 5:15 through 6:1 What do you want for your life today?

Step 3 - Express your desires with emotion -Daniel 9:3 pleading - earnestly in prayer -Daniel 9:4 pour out - baring my soul -Jeremiah 50:4-5 

Step 4 - Demonstrate, show your seriousness -Daniel 9:3 - fasting -Why fast? 

Step 5 - Thank God for His love and His promises -Daniel 9:4 -Daniel 9:9 

Step 6 - Humbly confess your sins -Daniel 9:5-6 Daniel 9:13-14 -Daniel 9:7-8 Daniel 9:16 -Daniel 9:10 Daniel 9:18 

God’s Response to Daniel -Daniel 9:20-23 -2 Chronicles 7:14 - God’s Promise 

You do four things and I will do three things -Humble themselves - confess -Pray - pleading -Seek my face - turn your attention to -Turn from evil ways - repent 

THEN -I will hear from Heaven -I will forgive their sin -I will heal their land
