ACCURATE PRAYER
David averred that what God said was the reason for the prayer he offered. If you want to be more accurate and effective in prayer, give attention to the word of God. No one can pray amiss while being guided by the word.

If God gave us Jesus, He will freely give us all other things as an addition. Again, if God raised Jesus from the dead, then He can raise us from any valley of despair to a height of glory.
Beyond that, we are also empowered to freely love. We are in a season where God demonstrated the greatest love to us. We have a responsibility to let it spread to others as well.
When He cried, “It is finished”, the age-long problem of sin that plagued mankind was dealt with. Today, as we mark the crucifixion of Jesus, remember that the chain that held you bound has been broken!
In some sense, when we pray it’s like placing an order for some things out of heaven’s table. However, it is not all such orders that make their way to heaven. Many times we are concerned with how long we have been praying over a matter. We don’t check to know if the prayer is received in heaven, to begin with.
The second part of our text shows that the enemies were stupefied seeing what they thought was impossible standing before them. The intimidators became intimidated; because a man prayed and drew down necessary resources from God.
To all intent and purposes, the king’s delicacies with which Daniel and his colleagues were to be nourished were intimidating. It was a situation where a privilege could lead to compromise of faith in God and a turning down of His statutes. So they refused the king’s offer.
He overcame the intimidation and went on to take the city. With God on your side, you can silence the noise of intimidation and march on to attain your place in destiny.
Spiritual discipline of prayer and studying the word, plus the willingness to practice what is taught is the gateway to maturity. Those who desire growth will go through repeated course of self-examination, looking for what next to lay aside in exchange for a new level in Christ.
To succeed in earnest is to first determine what God would have you do, and having known it to pour your energy wholly in its pursuit. Success in the eye of God cannot be achieved by ‘’copy and paste’’ attitude. You cannot wholly adopt what someone else is doing and make that your preoccupation.
