Daniel 9:4-6 I prayed to the Lord my God, confessing in this way: “O Lord, great and awesome God who is faithful to his covenant with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned! We have done what is wrong and wicked; we have rebelled by turning away from your commandments and standards. We have not paid attention to your servants the prophets, who spoke by your authority to our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors, and to all the inhabitants of the land as well. Daniels prayer begins with adoration and confession. This is an intense prayer and petition to God about understanding certain scripture: to gain a depth of insight and revelation. Daniel has the heart to confess not only his own sin, but the sin of all Israel. Doing this is right and good, because confessing and asking forgiveness of our sins acknowledges that we desperately need God. Only God is holy and He does not sin. Be on your guard and be honest with God: breakthrough awaits just around the corner of confession. Verse/Commentary courtesy of Verse-A-Day app. verse-a-day/Apps
