âMy God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt meâŚâ
Daniel 6:22
Have You Ever Felt Alone or Scared?
Maybe youâve walked into a new classroom, had to speak in front of people, or faced a bully. Those moments can feel like a lionâs denâscary and uncertain.
Thatâs exactly how Daniel must have felt when he was thrown into a real den full of lions. But instead of panicking, Daniel trusted God. And God did something amazingâHe sent an angel to protect Daniel all night long!
đŚ What Was Danielâs Secret?
Daniel wasnât strong because he was brave on his own. He was strong because he knew God was with him. Every day, Daniel prayed and talked to God. So when trouble came, he didnât freak outâhe leaned into his faith.
Even when people tried to stop him from praying, Daniel kept doing what was right.
đ¨ When We Face âLionsâ
Your âlionsâ might not have sharp teeth, but they can still be scary:
- Feeling left out at school
- Standing up for whatâs right
- Going through something tough at home
The good news? God hasnât changed. Heâs still with His kids, just like He was with Daniel.
đ 3 Ways to Be Brave Like Daniel

- Do the right thing, even when itâs hard â God honors obedience.
- Remember youâre not alone â God is always with you, even when no one else is.
Final Thought đ
Daniel didnât escape the lionsâ denâbut God met him inside it. That means when scary things happen, you donât have to be afraid. God is with you, even in the toughest moments.
So the next time life feels like a lionâs den, remember: youâre never alone. God is right there with youâstronger than any lion.
