The Story of Daniel and the Lions’ Den

The story of Daniel and the lions’ den is found in Daniel 6. Daniel was a faithful servant of God who continued to pray even when a new law said no one could pray to anyone except the king.

Daniel trusted God more than he feared the consequences.

When Daniel was thrown into the lions’ den, God sent an angel to protect him and kept the lions from hurting him.

Daniel said:

“My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths.”
— Daniel 6:22

This story teaches children that:

  • God hears our prayers
  • We can stay faithful even when things are difficult
  • God is always with us
  • We can trust God to help us
