  • Lesson 42 Daniel in the Lions Den, Primary 6
    Old Testament, (1996),185

3
  • Imagine that the house drawn here is your home.
  • Imagine that you have to go a long way from home
    to visit a relative, stay in a hospital, or go on
    a mission.

4
  • How would you communicate with your family when
    you were that far away from home?
  • What would you want to talk about?

5
  • When we lived with Heavenly Father, we could
    communicate with him as easily as we can with our
    families and our parents here on earth.
  • And now, even though we were separated from our
    Heavenly Father when we came to earth, we can
    still communicate with him.

6
  • How has Heavenly Father told us we can
    communicate with him?
  • Why does Heavenly Father want us to pray to him?
  • He loves us, he wants us to love him, he wants us
    to ask for help, and he wants to bless us.

The Story of Daniel in the Lions den

  • There was a new king of Babylon. His name was
    Darius.
  • King Darius chose men to help him. Daniel was
    their leader. The other men did not like Daniel.
    They did not want him to be their leader.

  • The men knew Daniel prayed to God. They went to
    the king. They asked him to make a new law.
  • The king made the new law. It said people could
    not pray to God.
  • People who did not obey the law would be put in a
    lions den. The lions would eat them.

  • Daniel prayed to God three times a day. The
    wicked men saw Daniel praying. They told the
    king.

  • The king knew Daniel must be put in the lions
    den. The king tried to think of a way to save
    him.
  • But the law could not be changed. The king told
    his servants to put Daniel in the lions den.
  • King Darius told Daniel God would save him.

  • The king fasted all night. He could not sleep.
  • In the morning the king went to the lions den.
    He called to Daniel.

    said God had shut the lions mouths.
