In God’s Presence: Daniel’s Prayer of Courage

Courage: the ability to do something that you know is difficult or dangerous.  Often we think courage is for super-heroes, or larger than life men and women who serve as first responders, fight in battle, or overcome disabilities. The reality is that the ordinary, well-adjusted, coffee-sipping, SUV driving, middle-class, metroplex, suburbanites also need courage.  Courage is an essential part of faith; it takes courage to follow God. Daniel was a courageous man of faith, who models courage in the most adverse of circumstances.  This week we continue our series In the Presence of God looking at Daniel’s Prayer of Courage from Daniel 6:10.
