Every great prayer that is recorded in the scripture always goes back to the promises of God.

And here is no exception, verse 4 of chapter 9 of the book of Daniel.

Oh, Lord, great and awesome God who keeps his covenant.

Thank you for joining listeners across six continents for leading the way, featuring the

insightful teaching of pastor, best-selling author, and international evangelist Dr. Michael

Youssef.

Up next, experience a decisive moment in the life of Daniel. Dr. Youssef. Up next, experience a decisive moment in the life of Daniel.

Dr. Youssef takes you to the ninth chapter of Daniel

for a challenging lesson on integrating prayer into all areas of life and living,

not just church or meal time.

on leading the way. Today we're going to look at a man who was in secret before God,

and that's who he is and who he was. His prayer, and I'm so thankful that a secret prayer, the prayer of Daniel in

chapter 9, was recorded and that survived 2,600 years so that you and I can be blessed with it today.

preaching in Jerusalem. Most likely, he remembered the words of the prophecies and the words of the

prophets. Most likely, Daniel remembered those words because he trusted in the words of Jeremiah to be the words of

the living God. We have people today in the Church of Jesus Christ who are doubting the authority

of the scripture. But here's a man who was living in the time of the scripture being written, and he never

doubted that what Jeremiah had spoken were directly Holy Spirit inspired and Holy Spirit written.
