Daniel 9:8-19

1. Praying on behalf of our sinful nation involves admitting to God that our nation’s current condition is appropriate for our
nation’s choices made in the past (Daniel 9:8-10).

God sends warnings before sending judgment — warnings in the Scriptures and warnings in history. To ignore God’s warnings is to invite His judgment
(Daniel 9:10-15).

2. Plead on the basis of God’s mercy for Him to intervene and help our nation (Daniel 9:9, 16-19).
