I do more writing than reading, so it takes a pretty special book to capture my attention (and time).<\/p>\n<p>When I got to Page 103 a couple days ago, the prayer at the end of Chapter 4 [<em>The Rise and Fall of Pride &#8211; Daniel 4<\/em>] really struck me as relevant to what the world is going through today. It&#8217;s an &#8220;everything is turned upside down, what now?&#8221; prayer. So, I asked Dr. Stroder if I could share this prayer with my readers.<\/p>\n<p>In the preface to the prayer, Dr. Stroder writes, &#8220;Is there an issue of pride in your heart? Are you self-focused, self-important and self-reliant? Are you at the center of your life? Regain your sanity and proclaim &#8211; Heaven rules! Get off the throne of your life and surrender it to the only One worthy of being called King of kings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/StroderPrayer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-899\" src=\"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/StroderPrayer.jpg\" alt=\"Stand Out - David Stroder\" width=\"675\" height=\"857\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/StroderPrayer.jpg 675w, http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/StroderPrayer-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>If you are interested in purchasing &#8220;Stand Out,&#8221; send me a message with your email contact information and I will pass it along to Dr. Stroder.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been working my way through, &#8220;Stand Out: The Outstanding Person and Prophecies of Daniel,&#8221; by Dr. David Stroder &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/?p=898\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"more-button\">Continue reading &gt;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">A Prayer For Today<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[21],"tags":[113,114,115,117,116],"class_list":["post-898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-miscellany","tag-covid-19","tag-inspiration","tag-prayer","tag-stand-out","tag-stroder"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=898"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":900,"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898\/revisions\/900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.christianmountainliving.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
