18The king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting. He refused his usual entertainment and couldn’t sleep at all that night. 19Very early the next morning, the king got up and hurried out to the lions’ den. 20When he got there, he called out in anguish, “Daniel, servant of the living God! Was your God, whom you serve so faithfully, able to rescue you from the lions?” 21Daniel answered, “Long live the king! 22My God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have not wronged you, Your Majesty.” 23The king was overjoyed and ordered that Daniel be lifted from the den. Not a scratch was found on him, for he had trusted in his God. 24Then the king gave orders to arrest the men who had maliciously accused Daniel. He had them thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. The lions leaped on them and tore them apart before they even hit the floor of the den. 25Then King Darius sent this message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world: “Peace and prosperity to you! 26“I decree that everyone throughout my kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel. For he is the living God, and he will endure forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end.” 27He rescues and saves his people; he performs miraculous signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.” 28So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.” Daniel 6: 18-28 NLT
Father God,
I am amazed and I read this I believe it happened. I read the New Testament and believe the miracles Jesus did. And yet I sometimes hear a doubt in my head that You can or will do miracles today. I know it is the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead that dwells is us. (Romans 8:11). And that You and the Holy Spirit are One.
Perhaps it is that I see so much negativity around me in the world. Wars that have been going on for years. Men who are in leadership and seem to be able to defy goodness. Father we long to see You move in power in our day. We long for hearts to be changed as in days of revival. We long to see evil vanquished where many are dying.
And then Lord I do see You at work and the miracles of lives changed. And I do hear of You working through Your church for good. Daniel was put through a terrifying ordeal but the result was that not just him but his people had the support of the King. The King even enabled the miracle of the chance to return to Jerusalem. Lord give us faith to pray for and expect miracles. You will answer in Your way, the right way the best way. Chase negativity from our hearts and help us to see miracles Your business and will happen according to Your will. Teach us how to pray . . .
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

When did I start to forget
All of the great things You did?
When did I throw away faith for the impossible?
How did I start to believe
You weren’t sufficient for me?
Why do I talk myself out of seeing miracles?
You are more than able
You are more than able
You are, you are
You are more than able
You’ll see that
You are more than able
Who am I to deny what the Lord can do?
It’s easy for you
Now I see all that I have
Oh, I’ve got my confidence back
I’ll put my trust in the One who still does miracles
You do miracles
You are more than able
You are more than able
You are more than able
We’ve seen it, we’ve seen it, we’ve seen it
You are more than able
Who am I to deny what the Lord can do?
And can you imagine with all the faith in the room
What the Lord can do, what the Lord can do
It’s gonna happen, just let the Way Maker through
He’s gonna move, He’s gonna move
Can you imagine with all the faith in the room
What the Lord can do, what the Lord can do
It’s gonna happen, just let the Way Maker through
He’s gonna move, He’s gonna move
Anything is possible (singing, oh)
Anything is possible
Anything is possible (c’mon)
Who am I to deny what the Lord can do?
Say anything
Anything is possible
Anything is possible
Anything is possible
Who am I to deny what the Lord can do?
Who am I to deny what the Lord can do?
Who am I to deny what the Lord can do?
You are more than able
You are more than able
Who am I to deny what the Lord can do?
