· Why isn’t He listening?
· Why isn’t He here with us?
Daniel 9:20-23 wants to let us know that while we are speaking in prayer, God is swiftly moving to answer.
Oh, child of God, we become so anguished, distressed, and despondent. We need never feel that way. Whenever the burden becomes so heavy that we can’t stand, we need only to kneel. Our God is alive and capable of doing exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.[1]
But our God has also determined a course that is far above us, often beyond our comprehension. In those times, we must trust, continue in prayer, and faithfully follow what we understand from God’s Word.
