If ever there was an example within God’s Word to the power of what one says, this is it. Psalm 89: 7 tells us, “A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all those who surround Him.” As a direct answer to turning his heart to understanding (acting wisely, justly), repentance before the Lord’s Majesty, and his fervent prayers, an angel is sent to reassure Daniel that his words were heard. In verse 2 it says, “…I, Daniel, had been mourning for three weeks.” Yet his words were heard the first day he began to pray. Sometimes there is a distance between the time we pay, and the time the Lord sends the answer.
