Main point: God is always with me.
Bible story: Daniel and the Lions ● Daniel 6:1-23

As a family, read “Daniel and the Lions” (Daniel 6:1-23) from the Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.) 

After reading the Bible story, discuss these questions together:

• What happened in the Bible story? (The other leaders told the king to make a new law to only pray to the king. Daniel loved God and only prayed to Him. When the leaders told the king about Daniel, Daniel was put in the lions’ den. But God kept Daniel safe.)
• God was with Daniel, and God kept Daniel safe! Is God always with you too? (yes)

This week, engage in everyday moments to continue the conversation: 

• • 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!”
  • 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.
  • 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!
