This does not mean "at this moment", but it is a way to show that the next phase in Daniel's prayer is about to start.
# your servant ... his pleas for mercy
The words "your servant" and "his" here refer to Daniel. He speaks about himself in the third person as a sign of respect for God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
# pleas for mercy
"requests for mercy"
# make your face shine on
