Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • God shuts the lions' mouths all night long. What does that tell you about him?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • Daniel does not hide his praying or make a show of it — he just carries on as usual. What does faithfulness look like on an ordinary day?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is one habit with God you will keep this week even when it is inconvenient?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • The king could not sleep and ran to the den at dawn. Who is watching how you live?

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 kept praying with his window open even when it was against the law. Thank you for shutting the lions' mouths. Help me keep praying, whatever happens.
