Prayer and spiritual strength
Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.

As we live our walks of faith, gaining spiritual strength through prayer is important. We must be able to see the reality in the events that arise daily. Seeing the reality means seeing the content of the essence, and not just its outer appearance. When this happens, we can see the realistic answers of God. In the midst of this kind of lifestyle, we will gain spiritual strength if we make preparations regarding reading and studies, interpersonal relationships, finances, culture and politics.
1. Spiritual strength
While there is no reason to be afraid when looking at the world, we must be able to see the reality. The Bible says the god of this world, Satan, is conquering the world. Therefore, it can be difficult if we go out into the world. Also, as we are heading out, we can face crises. However, if we have spiritual strength, we will absolutely be victorious. We must challenge with spiritual strength because there is a more important future.
2. What to confirm first
How can we have spiritual strength? First, we must reflect upon ourselves regarding the blessing of the Word, prayer and evangelism. Absolutely, God’s Word is being fulfilled, and our prayers are being answered. In addition, God’s work of salvation is being fulfilled. Inside of this, try meditating upon how you can receive answers, and find the Word, prayer and evangelism inside of your lives. And even if you meet with important incidents, you will not shake and you will be victorious.
3. Scheduled prayer
If we grab hold of today’s Word, prayer and evangelism and do scheduled prayer, we can find the hidden answers. If we are able to do this, there is nothing to be afraid of. We must study inside of prayer. Then, we can change the world. Also, we must succeed inside prayer. Then, we will not crumble even after succeeding. If we study with the answer God gives . in prayer, in the Gospel and in power . we can save the world and find the disciples God has prepared. At this time, the church we serve and the world will naturally be revived.
