Overwhelmed By The World? Pray Like Daniel

3 Steps to Pray with Purpose

October 28, 2025

BSF Guest Contributor

When my church participated in a global prayer week, a few friends signed up for the “prayer room” at my home. That evening, we were scheduled to pray for the different states in our country. Yet, after navigating treacherous traffic on potholed roads for an hour to get to my house, one of my friends quipped, “Forget other states and countries. We need to pray for the roads right here.”  

I live in the developing world. Without a doubt, it’s easy to criticize the poor infrastructure, rampant corruption, incessant traffic jams, and blatant injustice that are part of our everyday lives. Even if it looks different where you live, there is no escaping the brokenness of our world.   

But if we were to take a page from Daniel’s prayer recorded in Chapter 9, instead of complaining, our first response would be to cry out to God. 

When Daniel understood the prophecy about Jerusalem’s desolation from his reading of Scripture, his first response wasn’t resignation. Instead, he got on his knees. 

He prayed with humility, while holding tightly to the character of God. 

He prayed in repentance, believing that restoration would bring glory to God. 

He prayed with his heart, rooting his cries in Scripture. 

As we intercede for our cities, our countries, and our fractured world, how do we pray as Daniel did? 

Pray in Humility

True prayer prompted by the Spirit of God is inherently humbling. When we pray, we are essentially saying, “Lord, on my own, I cannot. But I know that you are able.” A posture of prayer is a posture of dependence. As we read Daniel’s prayer, his very first words capture the vastness and power of God: “Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments…” (Daniel 9:4). 

There is no formula to prayer, but there is wisdom in beginning with adoration of the almighty God who was and is and is to come. Reverent praise sets our hearts in the right direction. It moves our gaze upward instead of merely inward or outward. As we ponder and proclaim the nature of God, we begin to grasp our own fallenness. 

{

Reverent praise sets our hearts in the right direction.

{

Despite his own upright walk with God, Daniel did not separate himself from the sins of his people. Throughout his confession, his language is marked by the pronoun “we,” not “they.” In sackcloth and ashes before God, he cried: We have sinned, we have not listened, we have rebelled. 

Daniel’s prayer challenges us to stop pointing fingers and, instead, become people who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Instead of blaming others, we can emulate Daniel’s humility before God as we recognize our own frailties and fallenness. 

Pray God’s Character

Prayer is a powerful way of reminding ourselves of who God is. As we sit in God’s presence and meditate on His attributes, we lift our hearts above our fears. 

Beautifully woven through Daniel’s confession is the character of God. Daniel proclaimed that the Lord is righteous. He reminded himself that the Lord God is merciful and forgiving. He rehearsed the truth that God is the one who brought the Israelites out of Egypt.

When we speak back to God what He has revealed about Himself in the Word, our spirits are strengthened. Isn’t it true that when we are consumed by worship, our supplications often become an afterthought? 

Yet God in His love invites us to cast our burdens on Him. 

Pray Your Petitions

Daniel prioritized prayer. But prayer wasn’t just a spiritual discipline that he checked off his to-do list. It was a lifeline. He cried out with rawness of emotion: 

Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! (Daniel 9:19) 

True prayer is never passive. It is a desperate plea, a passionate outpouring, a lament, an emptying, an ache laid bare before God. 

Daniel didn’t pray a timid prayer for his people. He prayed with passion, believing that the Lord hears and acts. 

{

True prayer...is a desperate plea, a passionate outpouring, a lament, an emptying, an ache laid bare before God.

{

As our world plunges into the depths of divisiveness and depravity, may we come before God as Daniel did. May we humble ourselves, confess our sins, ground ourselves in Scripture, cling to the character of Christ, and passionately plead for the healing of our land. 

Ultimately, Daniel prayed for God to be glorified through the restoration of His people: “For your sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name” (Daniel 9:19). 

This is not just about the Israelites. It is about God’s covenant love for His people. It is about God’s name. 

So, we too weep as we pray: “For your sake, my God, do not delay.”  

We invite His reign once again. 

We cry out, “Maranatha. Come, Lord Jesus.”

  5. “It’s about God name” It’s about God’s Covenant Love for His people”
    Thank you Susan! If I’m training to think about God’s name when I pray , surely I will not be focused to my person to more glorify my Lord. I still learn to repeat God’s purpose to His people. May our faith be fortified.
    Thanks again!

  6. You made words fit what I have experienced. When we worship Father God, the cares and hurts disappear. When we reach up for Him, we are in His arms immediately. We couldn’t reach up unless we were down in humility. Praying “we” says I have family and He has no favorites.The passion is the certainty that He is here making everything alright.

  20. The prayer by Daniel has touched me most times when praying for sins of my fellow brothers and sisters I distant myself but for Daniel he sees himself as a co-sinner. I am equally challenged by his indebt study of the Bible to know who God is and claim His power to answer such prayers he offered.

    • Thank you Susan for this encouraging message and a point to pray without reservations, like Daniel starting with own confessions about sin, indeed we are in this world that is full of sin, wickedness and rebellion. But our God is full of mercy and slow to anger, , iam encouraged to pray through the scripture. God bless you,

  21. I thank You to all that participate in my spiritual maturity
    The best gift I have received from my Father was allow me to participate in the bible studies BSF offered.
    It was so difficult to participate! BSF was full of rules and very special who will let them participate or not!
    But I had a dear friend that participated it and she share with me every week what she learned.
    A year later BSF open in another church close to my house and finally I can participate every week in the study! 10 Years ago! Thank You bsf!

    • Maria, I’m glad that you pursued your studies with BSF. The rules help us all stay coordinated with the plans that BSF has put in place for us. You will get use to them if they still bother you. After many years since BSF first began, some of the “rules” have become more lax, which certainly matches society today. The studies teach us what the Word says and we will learn so much by conforming to the study plan.

  26. What strikes me about the structure of Daniel’s prayers are its macroscopic and microscopic dimensions and how Daniel toggles his focus back and forth. My takeaway is to pray like this: Thank you, Lord, for the power and goodness of your Creation and for the power and goodness of how you will end it all for us believers in your New Heaven and New Earth. And somewhere in between, thank you for this grilled cheese sandwich.

  42. “Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”2Cor.3.12-18

  54. Daniel prayed powerfully with his faith and confidence over God’s promise in sending his fellow Israelites back to Jerusalem after the expiry of 70 years period, that Daniel might know that he might not have the chance to return. And he knelt down towards Jerusalem all according to God’s will.

    Well, Daniel really act as a very good role model to be in line with God’s will though he should want to return Jerusalem any time with his fellow Israelites, according to his own will.

    Therefore, why not pray in the same as Daniel and boldly pray according to God’s promises all according to His Word in The Holy Bible? All promises are indeed ‘yes and amen’ (2Corinthians 1:20).

    Praise the Lord.

  55. I am encouraged to pray and not to complain. Pray with humility and fast.

    Reply
  56. Amen!

    Daniel’s prayer in Daniel 9 :4 echoes the ACTS template:

    Adoration of God for His Character;
    Confession of sins of the Israelites seeking God’s Mercy and Forgiveness for their transgressions;
    Thanksgiving even in his dire circumstances; and finally the
    Supplication of needs/ troubles

    A beautiful example of how Christ himself taught to pray in the NT-
    The Lord’s Prayer

  57. I have been profoundly blessed by Susan’s post by the way it jolted me out of a stereotype complacency that christians have in the area of prayer! ‘Prayer is passionate plea!!’ has caught my attention and its my prayer as a third world BSFer not to simply point fingers but passionately pray over all the flaws we are subjected to. God bless you Susan for that highlighted view!!

The current study from Exile & Return on the book of Daniel has taught me so much about my prayer life. Susan thank you for the meaningful pinpoints in your blog. In the Doctrine of Prayer I am understanding my prayer life should be more posture, purpose, passion and persistent practice. This study has made me understand the true depth on lamenting. I love my group and love my leader. I pray BSF extends beyond my life time so others will have the joy it brings.

  63. Thank you for this blog. I loved this lesson on the prayer of Daniel. And I appreciate the insights in your blog. I have been a Christian since childhood, but sometimes I find prayer really hard. It is hard to focus and really concentrate. So many thoughts and things around me distract me. I have been being very deliberate to begin again to learn about prayer and that starts with adoration and praise for God. I find it is a great way to help everything else slip away and to focus on the God whose presence is so beautiful and awesome.

    Prayer draws me closer to God as I see His will being revealed and His glory prevails. No scholastic words or phrases, just simple words that speaks from my heart.

  66. Praise is the language of heaven. It opens wide the doors to the kingdom and the doors of our hearts! While we are praising Him, God is busy answering our prayers before we even ask! Daniel knew this and he set that wonderful example of praising our God throughout his prayer. He acted as though he was in God’s presence and watched for Him to act!
    I’m grateful that Daniel recorded this prayer for us. What a beautiful relationship he had with our God!

  70. When Daniel prayed “we have sinned, we have not listened we have rebelled,” that grabbed my attention. He wasn’t blaming anyone, he wasn’t pointing fingers, he included himself with “we,” what a magnificent prayer! The humility of this man from young to old, caused reflection of a prayer that will stand through the ages; a prayer we can reflect on when we sense our prayer is not going past the ceiling; Daniel cried out, his heart was filled with his Almighty God…oh, Lord, help us to honor you in such a way…help us to use this secret weapon; Daniel was far ahead of this knowledge, teaching us how to approach the Lord and how to communicate with Him. Thanks be to God for Daniel 9!

Prayer for me comes from my heart as I talk and sometimes cry to my Father. I always Thank him ahead of time for what ever comes in ways I never thought possible. He is so wise beyond my thoughts. I smile when he shows me reasons why, yes, and not yet answers. I trust him with it all.
    My favorite is when I hear him call me by my name that always gets my attention.
    He is my savior that knows me calls me for his greater purpose.

  82. I’m encouraged to know that whenever I kneel down before the Lord in prayer, through praise and adoration, sincerely acknowledging how I fall short of God’s glory and asking for forgiveness, bringing before Him my petitions including interceding on behalf of my children and their spouses and my grand children, my siblings, relatives, friends, workmates, the church and the land, God listens to my deepest concerns and I can expect His gracious answers

Often thinking about how King David was “a man after God’s own heart” in spite of his great sins, my thinking is that what God loved was David’s passion, so emphasizing Daniel’s passion in prayer is very meaningful. Thank you!

  85. I am grateful for people who share their insight into Daniel’s prayer. As said in the beginning of this message: “Lord, on my own, I cannot. But I know that you are able.” . I am not able to fully understand God’s Word, but with God’s help and the help of others I can hear the truth in God’s Word. I am thankful for BSF and it’s leadership. May BSF continue to help people understand scripture. Be Blessed

  90. I love these blogs which are a wonderful addition to our lessons and so relevant. I am learning to humble myself before the Lord and praising him before petitioning Him for requests but it is a learning experience and I often fail. Thank you for reminding me.

  98. This study makes one realize that GOD is going to work out His plan regardless of the actions of humans. It is also very clear that the actions of the nations of today’s world will lead up to the end times in rapid fashion.

    • I thank GOD who directed me to BSF it’s helping me to grow spiritual y. The prayer of Daniel has challenged me a lot, not pointing fingers on others but owning the sins of others and repenting on their behalf “We’ not ‘THEM’ also the verse which indicated that ‘His prayer was answered as he started praying has encouraged me to remind faithful till the end, even in the middle of afflictions . GOD bless you for helping me to understand the impact of prayer.
