“…in those days, I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled…” Daniel 10:2-3 (NKJV)
In our opening text we see how Daniel through determination tarried in the place of prayer for many days until he received the visitation of an angel. If you are going to get results from the place of prayer, you must be determined. Why? Because determination is a key ingredient that is needed for you to see the results you want to see when you pray. Sometimes, the results we are looking for might not come easy to us because of several circumstances and demonic activities that might be surrounding the issues we are going through. But if you are determined, you will surely prevail. In Daniel’s case, God heard His prayers and dispatched an Angel to come speak to him, but the angel was apprehended in the heavens by the prince of Persia (Daniel 10:12-14) and for three full weeks, he stayed apprehended until there was an angelic reinforcement which came and help the angel to break free from the captivity of the prince of Persia.
Now, it is important to note that, what activated the angelic reinforcement was determination and consistency in prayers. Daniel was determined, so that made him continue with his prayer and fasting and he got results. Beloved, if you truly want to see things change in your life, you must make a conscious decision to be determined in the place of prayer. Remember, if Daniel was not determined to get answers, there wouldn’t have been an angelic reinforcement. Likewise, without determination in prayers, it is not possible for us to see the kind of results that we expect to see, because there are demonic forces in the unseen realm, working hard to frustrate our plans and purposes. And the only thing that can put them off and break their strongholds, is determination and relentless efforts. So, I admonish you today to have a determined prayer life.

Confession for the Day
The grace to be relentless and determined in prayer is at work in me, therefore I choose this day to tarry in the place of prayer and as I do this, I decree that angelic reinforcement and divine assistance is activated on my behalf in the name of Jesus. Amen!
