The Sure Word for Today

Living with intention requires more than just setting goals; it involves aligning your heart and mind with God’s will, which is best achieved through prayer. Prayer clarifies your intentions, enabling you to discern what aligns with God's purpose for your life. Daniel exemplifies intentional living through prayer. Faced with challenges in Babylon, he consistently prayed three times a day, aligning his intentions with God's will. His intentional prayers protected him and brought favour and wisdom, demonstrating the power of prayer in shaping your life’s direction.

Prayer is not just a ritual; it's a powerful tool for aligning your intentions with God's will. Daniel’s life shows how intentional prayer can shape your destiny. Despite the threats against his life, Daniel’s commitment to praying consistently ensured that his actions were in harmony with God’s plans. His faithfulness in prayer led to divine protection and wisdom, enabling him to influence a whole kingdom. When you live intentionally through prayer, you invite God to establish your steps, leading to a life of purpose and divine alignment.

In the Bible, intentional prayers have led to miraculous outcomes. When Hannah prayed earnestly for a child, her prayer was more than a request; it was an intentional alignment with God’s purpose for her life. Her prayer was answered with the birth of Samuel, a prophet who played a crucial role in Israel’s history. Like Hannah, when you set your intentions through prayer, you're not just asking; you’re aligning yourself with God’s greater plan. This intentionality in prayer can lead to breakthroughs and blessings beyond your expectations.
