Show the model answer
(a) Darius set Daniel among three presidents; he became distinguished by an excellent spirit (Daniel 6:1-3).
Jealous officials found no fault except in his religion (Daniel 6:4-5).
They got the king to sign a decree that no one pray to any god or man but the king for thirty days (Daniel 6:6-9).
Daniel prayed three times daily at his open window toward Jerusalem (Daniel 6:10).
He was reported and thrown into the lions' den (Daniel 6:11-17).
God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths; Daniel was unhurt because he trusted God (Daniel 6:22-23).
His accusers were thrown to the lions (Daniel 6:24).
Darius decreed that all should fear Daniel's God; Daniel prospered (Daniel 6:25-28).
(b) Any two: prayer and trust in God; patience and non-violence; dialogue; doing right consistently; seeking help from authorities; forgiving opponents.
Narrate Daniel 6, then two ways.
