Daniel's Brave Act

Teach children about courage and standing up for what's right with our free 'Daniel in the Lion's Den' coloring page. As they color, they can learn about Daniel's brave choice to obey God rather than the king's decree.

Daniel's Faith

Daniel's faith was unwavering. He trusted that God would protect him, even in the face of certain death. He prayed three times a day, even with the understanding that doing so would likely result in his execution. This steadfast devotion is an example to us all.

Help children understand the power of faith by discussing Daniel's story. Encourage them to go beyond just coloring the picture, but to think about the meaning behind it. Why did Daniel keep praying? How did God respond?

God's Protection

God showed His power and faithfulness by sending an angel to close the lions' mouths, sparing Daniel's life. When the king looked into the lions' den the next morning, he found Daniel unharmed. Immediately, he ordered Daniel's release and threw those who had accused him into the den instead.

As children color the scene of Daniel in the lion's den, they can see God's protection in action. Discuss how God kept Daniel safe, and how He can protect us too. This can lead to a powerful conversation about trusting in God's care and sovereignty.
