Day 175: Seeking God’s Strength in Spiritual Discipline
Scripture: Daniel 10:18-19

Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me. And he said, ‘O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.’

Are you engaging in spiritual disciplines to receive God’s strengthening? 1 Timothy 4:7-8 instructs, “Train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way,” promoting discipline. Isaiah 40:31 promises, “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles,” linking waiting to renewal.

Reflection: Daniel’s spiritual discipline of seeking God through prayer and fasting brought divine strength and encouragement. Seeking God requires intentional practices that open us to His empowerment. Daniel’s encounter shows that pursuing God with discipline invites His presence, giving us courage to face any challenge.

Today’s Challenge: Add one spiritual discipline (e.g., fasting, extended prayer) to your routine this week. Use it to seek God’s strength for a specific challenge you’re facing.

Prayer: Strengthening God, as You empowered Daniel, help me seek after You through spiritual discipline. Fill me with Your courage and peace, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
