Following on from Sunday's messages, I was reading this morning from Daniel. There are powerful images of prayer in this book. There's the commitment to prayer that gets Daniel thrown into the lion pit, and then there's the prayer that saves him.
But I was intrigued this morning by a visit of Gabriel to Daniel. Daniel had been praying and Gabriel, the angel, shows up with a message. (Daniel 9:22ff)
"The minute you started praying a command was given..."
The very minute that Daniel was praying, God was acting. The command included the rebuilding of Jerusalem.
Prayer is a very powerful thing.
