The Old Testament prophet Daniel knew how to pray. As he prayed, he fasted, confessed his sins, and pleaded that God would reveal His will. He prayed with complete surrender to God and with complete openness to what God was saying to him.
This is how we must pray as well!
When we pray, we must first examine our intent. Are we really seeking God's will and His perspective --- or are we simply giving Him our will and our perspective? When we pray, we must talk to God with openness, honestly, vulnerability ... and be truly expecting God to reply.

These are the truths about life that God has revealed to me over the years in my Bible study and prayer time. I will not quote Scripture references for most of these. But each represents the collective wisdom that the Holy Spirit has given me. I consider them words from God.
