Daniel 10:12 (NKJV)
Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.
He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, But he who refuses correction goes astray.
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—In the volume of the book it is written of Me—To do Your will, O God.’ ”
For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the Lord. “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.
“I was sought by those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ To a nation that was not called by My name.
But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.
O Lord, why have You made us stray from Your ways, And hardened our heart from Your fear? Return for Your servants’ sake, The tribes of Your inheritance.
