The Humility of Confession

“Then I set my face to the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.”
Daniel 9:3

Daniel depended on God for everything. He knew God’s character and he had experienced God’s faithfulness. Now, as Daniel goes before the Lord in prayer, the weight of his sin and that of his people humble him. He knows they deserve God’s punishment, and he comes before the Most High fasting and broken in spirit. He appeals to God’s mercy and to His Word with passion and heart.

When you pray, do you speak openly to God? Examine your attitude. Talk to God with openness, vulnerability, and honesty.
