Daniel was a man who was very faithful to his God. He was living in a foreign land under a different king. But he didn't abandon his religious practices even when it was against the king's orders.
Daniel was a man of great faith. But some people were jealous of him and tricked the king into making a law that anyone who prayed to anyone other than the king for 30 days would be thrown into the lions' den. Daniel continued to pray to God. So, he was thrown into the den. But God sent an angel to shut the lions' mouths. The next day, the king found Daniel unharmed and was amazed.
