Daniel in the Lions’ Den
Daniel prayed to God three times a day. Jealous men tricked the king into making a law against praying to anyone but the king. Daniel kept praying, and he was thrown into a den of lions. In the morning the king found him safe. Daniel said, “My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths.”
Key verse
