speechless

Daniel 10:15-17 (JDV)

Daniel 10:15 While he was saying these words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and was speechless.
Daniel 10:16 Suddenly one who looked like Adam touched my lips. I opened my mouth and said to the one standing in front of me, “My lord, because of the vision, anguish overwhelms me and I am powerless.
Daniel 10:17 How can someone like me, your servant, speak with someone like you, my lord? Now I have no strength, and there is no breathing in me.”

speechless

Daniel had consistently prayed to God all his life. But when he heard the words of this “Lord” speaking to him, he was speechless until empowered to speak. If you and I knew the potential behind our prayers, we would need divine power to pray them. God has given us such a responsibility.
