The Rope of Prayer
Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications…
Daniel 9:3a

Daniel 9:1-19
C. H. Spurgeon once said, "Prayer pulls the rope down below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly; others give only an occasional jerk at the rope. But he who communicates with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously with all his might."
Daniel was a man who communicated with heaven. He prayed fervently, consistently, and for the will of God. He knew nothing of praying only before meals, at bedtime, and when he really needed God's help. On the contrary, day in and day out, and often multiple times a day, this man came before God to discover His will and obey Him in everything (Daniel 6:10).
What is the status of your prayer life? Are you scarcely stirring the bell or ringing it loudly? If you desire to actively communicate with heaven and see your prayer life come alive, study Daniel's example, set your face toward God every day, and pull the rope of prayer continuously with all your might.
When we learn His purposes and make them our prayers, we are giving Him the opportunity to act.
