Walking by Faith while Feeling the Heat
I’m not sure how Daniel’s friends felt as they were “escorted” into the fiery furnace. Did this force them to pray more or pray differently? I know they trusted God and accepted whatever would happen to them that day.

I know Delhi is not a ‘fiery furnace’, but it certainly felt like it as we visited different historical sites during our prayer walk in Delhi. There were times I wasn’t sure if I really could push through the day without griping or complaining. Between the crowds and the heat, it was tough- and hard to concentrate on prayer for India. Towards the end of the day, I wasn’t sure if I had the physical strength to make it. It was at these times I ‘really’ had to simply trust God to bring me through the ‘fiery furnace’. I prayed continually and the more I prayed, the greater peace I received… the greater strength I was given.
Although completely exhausted physically, I had such peace and joy upon returning back to where we were staying. I doubt my joy can even compare to what Daniel’s friends felt as they walked out of the furnace, but I know we all walked by faith in our Great Jehovah.
