Daniel then appealed to the overseer whom the chief officer put in charge over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Daniel said to him, “Test us, your servants, for ten days. Give us only seeds to eat and water to drink. Then afterward, compare our appearance with those of the young men who eat the king’s food. Then you can decide what to do with us.” So the overseer agreed to do what they requested and tested them for ten days. And when the ten days were completed, they looked healthier and had even gained weight. The four Hebrew young men were in better physical condition compared to any of the others who had eaten their food from the royal table. So the guard replaced their diet of royal food and wine with vegetables and water.

The days in which “Christian values” were largely embraced in business and culture are long gone. Our sense of “exile” feels increasingly acute. How are you as a Christian professional supposed to respond to that sobering reality?

We face spiritual battles daily, and the way to face them and fight them is on our knees in prayer! Let's look into various instances in Scripture where prayer was done to respond to challenges people were facing.
