Talk About the Bible Story

Daniel and the Lions
Daniel 6:1-23

Daniel is put in a den of lions, and God sends an angel to protect him from the lions.

"God is with you wherever you go."

Joshua 1:9, NLT

Engagement Questions

• Who is always with you?
• Where can you pray to God?

Prayer

"Dear God, Daniel loved You and talked to You no matter what. Help us remember that we can talk to You anywhere. Thank You for being with Daniel and for always being with us. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: "Good morning, [child's name]! I love spending my days with you. Do you know who else loves spending the day with you? God does! God loves you so much that God is always with you!"
 

Drive Time

While on the go, look for animals. What would happen if you saw a lion? In the Bible, Daniel saw real lions, but before the lions could hurt Daniel, God sent an angel to shut the lions' mouths! God was always with Daniel, and God is always with us too!

Cuddle Time

Cuddle with your child and ask them to help you pray by naming places: "Dear God, thank You for being with me when I go to [name of place]. (Keep going as long as your child can name places.) It makes me feel very loved to know that You are always with us."
 

Bath Time

Add bubbles to bath time. Help your child use the bubbles to make a lion's mane around their face. As your child pretends to be a lion, talk about how, in the Bible, Daniel was put in a den with real lions. But God was with Daniel! God sent an angel to shut the lions' mouths.
