To Be Used by God

“Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.”
— Daniel 6:10

Often, I’m reminded that the church is made up of doers, not just attenders. Like Daniel, we want to live lives of faithful action, not just passive belief.

You may be asking, “What can I do to help?”
Start with these simple, daily practices:

1. Begin Your Day with Scripture and Prayer

Reading just one chapter per day will take you through the Bible in three years.
Three chapters a day will take you through it in one year,
and six chapters daily will complete it in just six months.

Keep a prayer journal to help you focus and remember what you're praying about.
Each morning, pray for your marriage, your family, and those closest to you.

2. Engage Midday

Whether you're on a lunch break or in a quiet moment during the day, pause to meditate on the Lord and reflect on the Scripture you read earlier (or read more).

Like Daniel, make noon a sacred time for prayer.
Pray for:

• Your pastor
• Your church family
• The salvation of souls
• That God would be glorified through GraceWay

3. End the Day with Devotion

Before bed, take time to wind down with a devotional like Our Daily Bread. Reflect on the day’s topic and pray through it.

As always, offer praise and worship in every prayer—morning, noon, and night.
