The Miraculous Catnap
Daniel 6. Part 3 of the story, poetry and prophets. This guide went out for Sunday November 30, 2025.
Reinforce this truth throughout the week and during your study.
Like Daniel, we can trust and obey God no matter what happens.
Read the passage to or with your children.
Daniel 6
Memorize and recite this verse with your children throughout the week
"Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you."
- Psalm 9:10
Watch the video below with your children.
Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.
What good things had happened to Daniel? What bad thing happened? How did Daniel respond to the new law? Why?
TakeawayLike Daniel, we should trust and obey God no matter what happens to us.
What did the king fear would happen to Daniel? Do you think Daniel was afraid of being eaten by the lions? Why do you think Daniel chose to obey God rather than the king? Who did he fear more - the king or God?
TakeawayWe should fear God, who has the power to save us even from powerful and hungry lions, more than people.
How does the story of Daniel and the lions’ den remind you of Jesus? What’s different? What do both stories teach us about trusting and obeying God?
TakeawayIf we follow Jesus, who is the author and perfecter of our faith, we will be delivered - even from death.
As your family reflects on the truths you learned in this week’s lesson, pray together.
Here are some questions to get you started...
- What did I learn about God that I can praise Him for?
- What sins and weaknesses can I confess to God?
- What promises can I thank God for?
Keep going
