Daniel 5&6

Lord God, there was a time, a dark time in my life, when I was not humble in heart. I was hateful and self-serving. I held myself up against you, Lord, even though I knew better.

One night, with your finger, you wrote on the wall of my mind, and I saw how lost and enslaved I was, and in your mercy, you granted me repentance. I confessed my sin and turned back to you, my God and my Lord.

Now your excellent Spirit fills me. I have become faithful and sanctified by your truth. I know you are my God and Father, and that you hold my every breath in your hand, and that you own all my ways. I glorify you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Now I belong to you, Father. You send your angels to guard over me, to stop any who would devour me. I am guarded and gifted and guided by you, because my faith is in you and in your living word.

You are the living God, and you are steadfast forever. Your kingdom will prevail and overcome. It cannot be destroyed. Your dominion endures to the end.

You deliver, and you rescue. You work signs and wonders in heaven and on earth. You deliver me and all those who are yours from the power of the lions.
