But the real focus of our attention should be upon the king who was sure his hand was stronger than the One he had never seen in action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So many have seen what man has been able to accomplish with limited ability and strength. But when faith is placed in the fire, the fire becomes a platform to reveal the presence of That God who was able to deliver His faithful ones in the fire, through the fire, and after the fire. When we ponder how we should pray for those in crisis, perhaps these points can be taken from the fifth chapter of Daniel to guide us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pray that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\">What they believe about God\u2019s delivering power will become stronger.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">They will have the courage to stand for God when others fall away.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Their confidence will not be in the circumstance or the outcome but in God.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">They will believe that God was with them in the crowd and in front of the King and that He will not forsake them.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">They will know that when they stand up for God, He will stand up for them and with them.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">They know their unwavering faith in God will sustain them and bring victory.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">They will be able to see those who opposed them, and their total trust in God will cause them to confess that God is the only one that can deliver from the hands of men.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em><span style=\"vertical-align: sub;\">For more info on prayer, visit: <\/span><\/em><a style=\"vertical-align: sub;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.worldnetworkofprayer.com\/\"><em>World Network of Prayer<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"July 16, 2023: Who is That God?
