Our God Reigns!

     Heavenly Father, sustain me when I am tempted to compromise in the midst of trials.  Teach me how to refuse to compromise.  (Daniel 1:8).

     Lord I understand that You honor the prayers of those who cry to You for wisdom from the midst of trials. Empower me by Your Holy Spirit to pray according to Your will in the face of difficulties. (Daniel 2:21).

     I know from Your Word that You expect me to stand firm for You even when it means standing alone.  Encourage me to stand up for Jesus regardless of the results. (Daniel 3:17, 18).

     Lord, You are the Almighty that humbles the proud, and no person is powerful enough to stand against Your humbling chastisement.  Let me humble myself under your mighty hand oh God, with the full assurance that You will exalt me in due time. (Daniel 4:37).

     I don't want to choose to defy You Father, for I understand from Your Word, that can only lead to destruction, regardless of my privileges and means.  Instruct me on how to root out defiant attitudes that are present with me. (Daniel 5:22).

     Father, You have chosen to glorify  Yourself through a believer's consistent testimony- which is magnified by faithfulness in times of trial.  Help me, my Stronghold and Refuge to maintain a strong testimony. (Daniel 6:10).

     I have witnessed for myself peoples' vain struggle for power and dominance while only God's power and rule will last forever.  Father, let me submit to God’s power in my life through Your Holy Spirit. (Acts 15:18).

     I have hope in Christ through Your Word, that He will defeat the forces of evil in the Tribulation.  Help me oh Lord, to live my life day by day in light of eternity. (Daniel 12:1).  Amen!
