So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.
(Daniel 9:3)
Pray
You are a merciful and righteous God, and I come before You today with a humble and repentant heart. Just as Daniel prayed fervently for the forgiveness of his people, I also seek Your forgiveness for my own sins and the sins of those around me. I acknowledge that we have turned away from Your commandments and have not followed Your ways. I ask for Your mercy and grace to wash over us and restore our relationship with You.
I pray for understanding and insight to know Your will and the strength to carry it out. Help me to align my heart and mind with Your purposes and to live a life that is pleasing to You. May Your love and forgiveness guide our steps and lead us towards a renewed faith and commitment to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
