Week #20 of the Prayer Challenge booklet, is on the prayer life of Daniel and is an example and model for us to consider. Perhaps Daniel prayed in a window where those passing by could see, or perhaps he prayed allowed that others could hear. Or perhaps, following his prayer time, his countenance was changed and others knew that he had been in the presence of God. Whatever the case, people knew that consistent prayer with the Living God was a part of his lifestyle.
King David was known for inquiring of God, as he faced decisions regarding the kingdom of Israel. He had advisers who I'm sure, relished the idea of giving advice. But David inquired of God. Daniel sought the Lord three times a day. What great blessings could result from inquiring and seeking the Lord throughout our day? And what pitfalls could be avoided by seeking God? And what blessed assurances can be gained by knowing we have met with the Living God? Upon meeting with God, wouldn't we rise differently than when we knelt?
