Daniel 2:19
In today’s passage, when King Nebuchadnezzar threatened to kill all of the wise men of Babylon if they couldn’t interpret his dream, Daniel knew he needed more support. He told the king’s advisor he would interpret the dream. “Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, and told them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery.” (Daniel 2:17-18) Daniel gathered with friends to pray, and God answered his specific prayer.
