Session Two

PRAYER and FASTING

Daniel in the Lion’s Den - No Compromise

Theme

Integrity Under Pressure

But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God. Daniel 6:10

REFLECTION

Daniel didn’t start praying because the lions appeared; he prayed because he already knew the One who made the lions. When the world demands we “violate the covenant” for the sake of safety, reputation, or career, the person who knows God (yada) doesn’t need to pivot or panic. Daniel’s strength was his consistency. His resistance wasn’t a loud, angry protest, but a quiet, unshakable, and public devotion to a higher King.

QUOTES

“The man who kneels before God can stand before any man.” A.W. Tozer

PRAYER POINT

Personal Discipline: Pray for God’s strength to push aside the “flattery” of digital and mental distractions so you can engage meaningfully and deeply with Him.
Courageous Integrity: Pray for the courage to stay true to Godly principles in every environment—both within the church setting and in our everyday life.
Global Leaders: Intercede for those in power in our nation and across the world; pray that they would not bend to the influence of evil or the pressure of corruption in their decision-making.
The Remnant Church: Pray for a spirit of NO COMPROMISE to fall upon church leaders. Ask God to give them a “Daniel-heart” that fears God more than the loss of social status.

MEDITATE

Imagine Daniel praying with his windows open, despite the threat of death. Spend time meditating on the profound peace that comes from having nothing to hide from God and nothing to fear from people.
