Are You A Man of Prayer?| EP. 135

“Daniel went against what culture was saying and did what was right in the eyes of God.”

On EP. 135 we take a look at the life of Daniel. As men we should be drawn to Daniel and how he lived his life. Daniel modeled masculinity, he was a man of prayer, he never let culture defile him. He had a level of intimacy with God that we all should desire. Daniel followed his convictions. In Chapter 10 we see Daniel mourning for three weeks because so few of the people had returned from exile. How do you respond when your expectations are not met? Daniel responds with biblical mourning, he prays. What do the rhythms of your life look like? Is prayer a priority in your life? Don’t let the culture shape you, be a man of prayer!
