Living God, we stand before You in this sacred moment, lifting our hearts to You with trust and hope
We thank You for Your prophet Daniel, who loved You with an undivided heart, who remained faithful despite fear and persecution, and made prayer his refuge and strength
Lord, teach us to choose You each day, to hold fast to the truth whatever the cost, and to place our lives in Your hands without compromise
Grant us the wisdom of Daniel, his courage in the face of injustice, and his steadfast faith when hearts grow weary
Be with us in times of trial, silence the lions that threaten our faith, and guard our souls with Your divine peace
We entrust ourselves to You, confident that You are a present God, who sustains, saves, and leads us into the light
