Daniel loved God and prayed to Him every day. He worked for King Darius and was trusted more than all of the other leaders.

Some jealous men tricked the king into making a new rule: no one was allowed to pray to anyone except the king. But Daniel kept praying to God.

The jealous men told the king, and Daniel was thrown into a den full of lions. The king was very sad because he liked Daniel very much.

God sent an angel to shut the lions’ mouths. In the morning, Daniel was still alive! The king was amazed and praised Daniel’s God.
