Message in Brief

In this message, Pastor Ratna Maitra reflects on the unwavering prayer life of Daniel from Daniel 6:10-11. Despite knowing the royal decree forbidding petition to any god or man other than King Darius, Daniel remained steadfast in his devotion. He went to his upper room, opened his windows toward Jerusalem, and prayed three times a day as was his custom. The speaker emphasizes how Daniel's commitment, humility, and trust in the living God brought divine intervention even in the face of the lions' den. Believers are encouraged to maintain faithful prayer and depend fully on God regardless of adverse circumstances, trusting that faith brings victory.
