As soon as you began to pray,
an answer was given. Daniel 9:23
When Daniel poured out his heart in prayer for Jerusalem, he received initial confirmation that God had heard his prayer. The angel Gabriel came to him and told him that as soon as he had begun to pray, an answer was given.1
For those of us who participated Monday September 1 in 9 1 1: An Urgent Call to Pray for Jerusalem, we concluded with an expectancy that God would confirm that He had also heard our heart’s cry on behalf of the city and the people that He loves.

The end of all things is near.
Therefore be clear minded and
self-controlled so that you can pray. 1 Peter 4:7
Following dinner the night Jesus was betrayed, He took His disciples with Him to Gethsemane and asked them to watch and pray. When He checked on them, He found them sleeping. I can almost hear His voice choking with emotion as He said, Could you men not keep watch with Me for one hour? Because He knew the seriousness of the hour. He knew His arrest, betrayal, trials, crucifixion, death and burial were imminent. He knew His disciples needed to be pre-prayed. Instead, they went back to sleep. As a result they were totally unprepared for the events of the next three days.
