Daniel 9:1-27
Rev. Charlie Phillips
John Owen once famously said this—“what an individual is in secret, on his knees before God, that he is and no more”. The first time I read that quote I was filled with shame. The reason was that I had struggled to connect with God in prayer on and off throughout my lifetime. But it wasn’t Owen’s intention to shame Christians. The shame was all mine, and it was because for a large portion of my life I simply didn’t know how to pray. I suspect that I’m not the only one in the church that’s dealt with this struggle. For people like me, Daniel chapter 9 is a Godsend. Join us this Sunday as we encounter the great prophet praying the promises of God.
