Daniel prayed to God acknowledging Israel's sin and God's righteous acts in the past. He asked God to turn away his anger and have favor on Jerusalem for God's own sake. Lordship means ownership and surrendering control of one's life to God. It involves intentional transformation as one's standard becomes the Lord. The concept of Lordship was emphasized in the Bible, especially in pagan cities, to distinguish serving the one true God from false gods. True Lordship transforms one's life and actions.
