Greatly loved

Yesterday Pastor Jason preached a very applicable sermon about prayer from Daniel chapter 9 and I thought I'd record some things down.

1. Prayer does not change God's will, but prayer can change things (according to His will).

2. Pray scriptures into our situations. When there is a gap, pray scripture into situations.

3. Prayer is not about us, but about God.

And God answered Daniel through a vision from Gabriel, saying Daniel is 'greatly loved'. One of the most touching love statements, I find, from the Old Testament. No matter how great Daniel's zeal and passion for God is (and it was truly great and faithful and consistent); it could not match up to God's great and faithful love for Daniel and Israel.

The greatness of God's love comes from who He is. How blessed are we today who call Him Father, He whose greatness the universe cannot contain.
