Fear Not! Protection Devotions

Dia 1 de 7

 Daniel’s Prayer

“Then he said to me, ‘Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words’” (Daniel 10:12). 

Daniel prayed to God, and immediately God dispatched an angel to respond to his plea. Now if you read on, you will find that it took the angel twenty-one days to reach Daniel. Why, you ask? Because there was a tremendous spiritual battle going on in the unseen world. 

In this particular battle, the angel sent to help Daniel needed some additional assistance, that of Michael the Archangel. One thing you can count on, when Michael gets called upon, it’s a pretty heated battle! In this particular exchange, the angel says he was fighting against the Prince of Persia, which is reference to a demonic spirit or spirits.

You need to note a couple of important things about this encounter. First, God did not delay in sending a response to Daniel’s prayer. He sent an angel on day one after Daniel had prayed. Yet it still took three weeks to get the answer. Remember, God is seldom early, but He is never late. God’s timing is perfect.

Also keep in mind that God sent the necessary reinforcements to free the angel to get the message through to Daniel. Satan and his demons are formidable foes, but they are nothing in comparison to God’s team. God will supply whatever means are necessary to accomplish His purpose. 

What battle are you facing today? Does it seem impossible to overcome? You cannot discount the impact of prayer. Trust that God will accomplish His purposes. James 5:16 says, “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” If you haven’t already, turn your battle over to the Lord in prayer. Let Him do the fighting for you. Nothing, I repeat, nothing, is too big for the Lord! 

[Insert your name here] fear not, “for nothing is impossible with God”(Luke 1:37).

Prayer: Lord, I thank You that You are an active, living God. Today, I humble myself before You and set my heart to understand You better. Help me to turn my battles over to You. I believe You will do for me what You did for Daniel because You are “no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). In Jesus' name, amen.
