Read Daniel 9:12-13 – And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem. As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth (NKJV).
Daniel acknowledged in his prayer that the judgment God’s people had experienced was a result of their disobedience to God’s Word. It was a devastating judgment like no one had ever seen. However, the greatest mistake was not their sin and idolatry. Their greatest mistake was that they failed to turn to God in prayer. They missed the opportunity to have their sins forgiven and avoid this judgment, simply because they did not go to God in prayer. Men, when we sin, the first thing we need to do is go to God in prayer. By His grace we can turn from our sin.
