Daniel 9:5 We have sinned, been wicked and done evil; we have rebelled and departed from your commandments and your laws.
Daniel was probably one of the most righteous men in the Bible, at least in the top three, yet when he prayed he felt the need to confess the sins of his people and to plead for God's mercy, recognizing that God was just to decide whatever he wills.
Today, in our culture, this prayer might sound more like this: "Lord, I have been wronged and it is not my fault so spare me and make the others pay."
I think that if we want to see the great works of God, if we want to believe in the God of the Bible and in his mercy and power, then we have to come to a place where we can truly confess our sins and recognize that God is just in whatever he decides.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always trust in you judgment and in you mercy and grace. Help me to be able to truly confess my sins to you and to be free from their deceptive grip.
Amen
