Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.” His name, in Hebrew, meant pain or sorrow. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.’” According to 1 Chronicles 4:9, “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. Jabez was a man who was followed by distress and sorrow most of his life. He loves His people and desires that we be like Daniel and continually seek and pray to Him. God is bigger than hungry lions & kings decrees. We can learn to pray to God even when we are facing persecution. This is a testimony to how God is faithful to His people. God heard and He did spare Daniel from being ripped apart by hungry lions. He knew God would be with Him, even if he died in the lion’s den. In the morning, verse 23 says, “…And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.”ĭaniel not only prayed to God throughout his life, he still trusted God even in a lion’s den. The king said to Daniel, ‘May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!'” Darius asked God to save Daniel. In verse 19 it says, “So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. ![]() Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.” Not long after, the king’s officials found out Daniel was praying to another king they went and told King Darius. In Daniel 6:10 says, “when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to this upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. During this time, King Darius’ had ordered a decree that any person who prayed or bowed to any other king would be thrown into the lion’s den. Daniel in the Lion’s Denĭaniel was a man of prayer who sought after the Lord. I hope you are encouraged as you read about mighty men of God seeking after Him, even in the face of trials and persecution. In each one of these Bible stories, God answered the prayers of His people. 3 Biblical Examples of Praying in a Certain Direction I found three Biblical examples to show how people prayed to God in a certain direction. While Christians do not pray in a physical direction, they do pray in a spiritual direction.Īlthough Christians do not pray facing a certain direction they do pray in a certain spiritual direction. They can pray facing any direction since God is omnipresent. What directions do Christians face when they pray? Unlike other religions, Christians do not face a certain way when they pray. Recently, I have been studying Biblical prayers and seeing how God answered them. As a theology and Bible major, I have been studying the Old Testament and learning about the connections between the Old and New Testament.
