Daniel in the Den
"My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths."Daniel 6:22
Reflection
Daniel kept praying even knowing it was forbidden. The lions’ den became the safest place in the city that night.
Prayer
God, give me steadiness to do what is right. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why did Daniel keep praying?
- What did God do in the den?
- When is it hard to keep doing what's right?
5-minute activity
Make lion masks from paper plates. The grown-ups are lions and the child is Daniel, praying by a "window." At the angel's signal, all the lions close their mouths. Read Daniel 6:10-23.
