“…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)
Having established the importance of determination in the place of prayer, we will now look at a few things you must do to enforce your determination. First of all, when you pray, do not stop until you see results. What happens with many of God’s people is that they pray and stop, thinking that results will follow but guess what, the results never come because that’s not how it works. You must understand the rules of engagement here. You only stop when you have seen the results you are looking for. As long as you haven’t seen results yet, it is proof that your prayers have not yet prevailed. So, what you need to do is to continue in prayers until you win. It may take a while, but the secret is that your persistent, heartfelt, continued prayers is what breaks the stronghold of the enemy and releases your victory to you.
You may have prayed concerning certain matters in the past and nothing happened, so you gave up. But I want to encourage you to pray again and this time with determination. Tell yourself, I will not come out of this exercise without reasonable or tangible results. If you make decisions like this, you will certainly win in all your life’s endeavors; because those who win in life are those who have laser-like determination. When there is no determination there can be no emancipation.
So, take a moment to review your prayer life today. Identify the areas that need to be addressed and get back to prayers knowing full well that this time, things will be different. When you begin to pray with determination, you might not immediately see the desired results but don’t let that distract you because, if you continue, you will surely see the reward of the Lord and the reward of your determination. God bless you!

Confession for the Day
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for making it possible for me to receive answers through prayers. I declare that I will continue to hold on in the place of prayers until I see my change because I know that you are the God who answers prayers and wants to do your children well. Therefore, nothing will stop me. I resist every resistance and I prevail over every stubborn problem in the name of Jesus. Amen!
