Praying through this story
Thank you, God for your Great Rescue Plan to save the whole world, just like you saved Daniel from the Lions. Thank you, Jesus that you were faithful and courageous, like Daniel even through you knew the cost would be your own life. Help me to love you, and be faithful and courageous to follow you and do the right thing, even when it is hard. In Jesus' name, AMEN
