Confidence in God

Do you trust in God to the point of death? There are many times whn we feel we are a danger and decide for ourselves that God does not want us to be bold in those situation. We think that God would never require death of us or even before we can finish that thought, we are running in the other direction. But in Daniel 6, we see Daniel's response to the death sentence he is to receive. "He knew that his life was at stake - and yet he went to his house and kneeled on his knees and prayed as he did aforetime. He did not on the the one hand run into danger, nor did he on the other flinch from it. Here was no carnal policy, no time-serving, no crooked contrivance, no love of expediency. He made a straight path for his feet; he did as usual, neither more nor less; and why? ... he believed in his God. Mark here the fruits of daily communion with God; see how a habit of prayer will product quietness and assurance in the hour of trial and diffculty. There never have been lacking lewd men of the baser sort, who say, 'Where is the use of your praying? What good will it do you? But wait until the days of affliction come upon you, and the Lord will provide you with an answer. A habit of prayer will impart special reliance upon God in time of danger; it will give a special boldness; it will secure a special deliverance, for those who honor God He will honor." There is a direct correlation with prayer and the spirit of fatih that is developed through it. It is through our times of prayers that we grow in our knowledge of the attributes of God and experience the power of answered prayer. If we know that God will never fail us and that He hears all of our prayers, what are we to fear?
