Why would Daniel pray so, if God said he would do this after 70yrs. Why would Daniel earnestly pray to God to fulfill His promise?? Did God need reminded of this?? I think its because God wants us involved in His work on this earth. God could do all these things without our help, but I think he delights in having His children involved in His work. So when we pray for His will to be done, you can be guaranteed that it will be done, but He may delay in doing it if His people are not of the same heart. Does that make any sense??? Yes it does. Have you any ideas about whether it is possible to change God's mind? It seems like Abraham was about to change God's mind about Sodom, when God decided it would be easier to jsut let the few good people leave. Remember that whole sequence when Abraham was "negotiating" with God? What if there are 1000 good men? 100? 10?
