Grow in Prayer

Daniel is in the fourth quarter of his life when he turns to pray. Now in his eighties, the lines under his eyes carry the legacy of his people’s darkest years. He was only a teenager when Babylon conquered Israel, only a child when he was taken in chains to a foreign country. In the years that followed, he turned to God and saw him faithfully provide. God provided in the lions’ den and kept Daniel safe through four different kings and two empires. Daniel’s spiritual habit of prayer grew through each of these situations and seasons. Now, as he prays, he turns to the One who is familiar and good. He turns toward God.
