Daniel's Prayer for Forgiveness
O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. (Daniel 9:4-5)
This beautiful and heartbreaking prayer is one of stark contrasts. Daniel has just learned that the exile of his people will continue for some time in the future. This is so overwhelmingly sad that he turns to God for sustaining mercy. The prayer acknowledges that all the things that have happened to him and his fellow exiles are appropriate because of their sin. It also declares the greatness and goodness of God. Daniel uses one of the most famous words in the Hebrew Bible in this prayer: the word for “righteousness.” Daniel says, “Righteousness is on your side, O Lord.” The word righteousness includes not only the idea of divine justice, but also God’s mercy and compassion, longsuffering, and holiness; in fact, it includes all the characteristics of God that call out of us our best worship.
“Ah, Lord, great and awesome God,” Daniel begins. He goes on to list all the faults of the people and all the greatness of God. But in the middle of these stark contrasts, Daniel finds the perspective to sink his own roots in God. His own identity, and his people’s identity, is forever linked to Israel’s Lord. And all his hope is found in God.
Prayer “O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, listen and act and do not delay!” Amen. (Daniel 9:19)

The Old Testament records the faith-filled, joyful, and desperate prayers of sinners and saints, prayers that still speak to us today. Although our lives are different in many ways from these believers of ancient times, we can often recognize ourselves in their stories. Their doubt sounds a lot like ours. Their loneliness echoes ours. So does their joy. This 13-day series was written by Dr. Leanne Van Dyk.
