Daniel- The hero & prayer warrior.
|
Daniel had many hero super powers. He was able to out last a fiery furnace and den of lions because of his faith in God. Daniel was so loyal to God that even the king could not tempt him. He would only worship and pray to the one true God.
Daniel prayed for protection from hungry lions. The things that we are afraid of or that trouble us can be our personal “lions,” such as a friend’s illness, parents’ divorce, a death, a problem at school, a hard school test, etc. We need to encourage our children to let God take care of their “lions.” You can suggest that your child write or draw their “lion” on a lion cutout and put it in their Bible. Then ask them to pray about their “lions” during the week, Remind your chlld to be patient and believe that God will take care of their challenge in His time. Also share with them that they should ask God to help them do their part in solving the problem. A time of quite reflection and prayer worked well for Daniel and it will work well for your child as well! |
