Daniel tells from Daniel 10.1 on that he was mourning three full weeks. He ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into his mouth, nor did he anoint himself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. He was desperate, concerned and maybe many of us are like that as long as we live in a world full of problems, conflicts, and envy, greed, and vanity. Daniel`s mourn came together with fast and prayer, so someone praying this way can touch the whole world. You have to have an awareness of the power of the prayer. You don`t need skills to pray. God listens to your prayer not from what you know, but from what your soul express, from what your heart says and wishes. Daniel got disturbed due to the condition he was living under, and the only solution was to mourn and pray. Just God can change your life through your mourning, prayer, and fast. That`s nonstop prayer. The most successful people from the Bible show that the recipe for their success was the nonstop prayer. Daniel had a blessed life. He went to Babylon as a slave and kept conquering because he prayed in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night to the extent that they made a decree against prayers for a month to affect Daniel.

Daniel, and many times we as well, don`t see other solutions, just pray and mourn. Some churches separate people to pray in groups, but prayers have nothing to do with beautiful words, but to give your heart to God. The strongest prayer comes from a person who has the cleanest heart

Some get to see a solution for their problems in the Word. They see what God wants to deliver to them while others do not even see what is preached. Daniel had many, but just he saw the angel. Daniel was down, no expectations, no way out. If you look upward, you will also see a solution. That angel was the breakthrough in Daniel`s life. If he hadn`t lifted his eyes to Heaven, he wouldn`t have seen him We might be together worshipping the Lord, and we will not always have the same sight. But my sight is that God will perform wonderful things in our lives. Men with Daniel ran away because they were not prepared, they were not fasting and praying or mourning. Some wonderful things happen to those that seek God. Sight is God`s answer. Daniel just needed to lift his head. When he looked upward, his answer came. David used to say that he looked upward and his help came from God. Those who were together with Daniel ran away. You can`t run away when the answer arrives in your life. God does not always say what you want to hear. He says what you have to hear. Large answers as Daniel was waiting for just come through mourning, fasting, and praying. The Bible has 366 times the word don`t be afraid, but the expressions might mean don`t be scared, don`t be surprised, which means the same. God`s answer is perfect. The angel told Daniel that God heard his prayers the same day and that wonderful, beautiful, powerful angel just came to Daniel because of the prayer. The deliverance, the answer, the sight come at the moment you are prepared, but God hears the prayer on the same day. Daniel humiliated himself and gave his heart. To give your heart means to do something indeed with pleasure, to understand what it is necessary. Daniel did so; you have to do the same. Devil tried to stop what came from God. Our Father allows the devil to resist seeing how we use our heart. Be aware that the Lord`s angel will never be defeated. Your victory starts at the moment of your mourning when you bend your knees and start crying out and humiliating yourself sure that God has heard you and sent you your victory. Have this faith, this sight, and look at God.
