Submission in Prayer

“The God we serve is able to save us…But even if he does not, we want you to know, O King, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” (Daniel 3:17-18)
Scripture Focus: Luke 22:39-44

Can you imagine standing before a blazing furnace, knowing if you bowed before an image you would be safe? If you refused, however, soldiers would throw you into that furnace.

Three young men faced such an ordeal. They stood firm and placed their faith in God. Surely they asked God to save them from being thrown into the furnace. But they promised that whether He did or not, their faith in Him would remain.

If God had protected them from being thrown into the furnace that day, the crowd would not have seen an amazing miracle. Instead of being burned, the three young men walked around in the fire with the pre-incarnate Jesus.

Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, praised God. How many people placed their trust in Him that day?

If Jesus had not surrendered His will, what hope would we have? Submit to Him in prayer, and in everyday life. Your willingness to do His will can impact lives for His kingdom.

Insight: Move out of the driver’s seat. Let God take you where He wants you to go in your prayer time, and in your life.
