Become Uncomfortable

Daniel 9:3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.

In looking to the 70 years of desolation for the nation, this was Daniel's response. What is it that you are pleading to God right now?  How are you going about it? Daniel humbled himself before the Lord and made himself uncomfortable in order that he could call on God in a very particular way. This isn't an easy task.  Petitioning God for something is not simple.  We want to ask Him for what we need, but we always seem to fall short of asking for the actual need we have.  What would our experience be if we were to humble ourselves like Daniel and become uncomfortable in our prayer?  How might that change our perspective and our intercession to God? Remembering that we can come to the throne in freedom and confidence that God will do something on our behalf and remaining humble in our plea, ah, that is the difficulty of prayer indeed!
