Daniel 6 · Grade 2

Daniel Keeps Praying

Name Date

Read the Story

King Darius made Daniel a leader. Some men were jealous. They looked for something wrong, but Daniel was faithful. So they asked the king to make a rule. For thirty days, people could pray only to the king.

Daniel still prayed to God three times a day, as he did before. The men told the king. The king was sad, but he had to keep his rule. Daniel was put in the den of lions. In the morning the king ran to the den. Daniel said that God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths. Daniel was safe!

Memory Verse

“When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.”

Daniel 6:10 (WEB)
