HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN TO PRAY?

What a bright new Monday morning! What time did you wake? What was the first thing you did after waking up? Were you happy doing it? Are you experiencing spiritual aridity? How do you hope to come out of this mess? Well, these are some of the questions you can ponder this morning... 🙊

There is no one on earth, even Jesus, who has not experienced some hard times. But, the question is, how do you deal with it? In Daniel 9, 4-10, Daniel turned his face to the Lord God, begging for time to pray and to plead, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes👍🏻

He began his prayer by acknowledging God in these words: O my Lord, God great and to be feared, you keep the covenant and show faithful love towards those who love you and who observe your commandments 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Daniel acknowledged the greatness and faithfulness of God because that was what God had done for him. God blessed Daniel with status and authority even though he was in exile in Babylon. God gave Daniel the gift of prophecy. He saved Daniel in the lions' den and rescued him from his enemies' plots. Time and again, God showed Daniel His greatness and also His faithfulness.

What is your own experience of God? Is God faithful to you? Has He been compassionate and merciful to your situations? How do you repay His goodness to you? When Daniel experienced the awesomeness of God,  he remembered and praised God for His greatness and faithfulness to him 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

As you begin this new week, may you remember to praise God for His greatness and faithfulness in your life, business, office, studies, etc. Today shall be better. Amen.

Heading to the table for coconut rice and coffee. I didn't take my juice, I have sacrificed that for lent😜😜. Have a good day!

Good morning!
Rabbi 😘😘
