What does this show me about God?
- God shuts the lions' mouths, and Daniel says it is because he was found innocent before God. What is God able to do?
What does it show me about people — and about me?
- Daniel does not pray louder or hide — he prays exactly as he always had. What does a habit do for you when things go wrong?
What will I obey this week?
- When in your day will you pray, at the same time, every day this week?
Who will I tell?
- Who would find it hard to pray where they live or work? Will you pray for them?
Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
God, Daniel knew the law would cost him his life and he opened his window and prayed like he always had. Help me keep talking to you even when it is not safe or popular.
