Daniel in the Lion’s Den
📖 Bible Verse
“My God sent His angel, and He shut the mouths of the lions.” — Daniel 6:22
🕊️ Story / Reflection
Daniel loved God very much and prayed to Him every day.
Some people became jealous of Daniel because he was honest, wise, and trusted God.
They made a law saying that no one could pray to God.
But Daniel chose to keep praying anyway.
Because of this, Daniel was thrown into a den full of lions.
That sounds very scary!
But Daniel trusted God completely.
During the night, God sent an angel to protect him. The lions could not hurt Daniel.
The next morning, Daniel was safe because God had cared for him.
Daniel’s story teaches us that we can trust God at all times — even when we feel afraid, pressured, or alone.
God is always with us.
💡 Lesson
I can trust God no matter what happens.
🙏 Prayer
Dear God,
Help me to trust You like Daniel did.
When I feel afraid or face hard situations, remind me that You are with me.
Thank You for protecting and caring for me always.
Amen.
