DAY 20: Thursday, October 20
TOPIC: Persecuted Christians
SCRIPTURE: Daniel 9:1-19
OBSERVATION: Daniel prays for his nation being held captive. Is our nation any different than Daniel's? Like Daniel, are Christians in a state of captivity and persecution?
PRAYER: All this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth. The LORD did not hesitate to bring this disaster on us, for the LORD our God is righteous in everything he does; yet we have not obeyed him. Now, Lord our God... we have sinned, we have done wrong!
