SAFE IN THE LION'S DEN
Daniel loved God with all of his heart.Daniel trusted that God would always keep him safe.
God blesses Daniel. He was very wise. The king planned to make Daniel ruler over all the land. Some men were jealous of Daniel so they came up with a plan to trick the king and hurt Daniel. They asked King Darius to make a new rule. The rule said that for 30 days the people could only pray to the King. If anyone was found praying to God or anyone else beside the king they would be thrown in the Lion's Den.
Daniel always prayed to God three times a day. Daniel would not stop praying, not even if the King threw him in the Lion's Den.
The soldiers saw Daniel praying at his window. So they told King that Daniel disobeyed the new law. The king was very sad because he liked Daniel. He realized the men tricked him, but the king could not change the rule.
