DANIEL’S LIFE OF PRAYER

Daniel 6:1-28

Key Verse: 6:10

“Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.”

1. Read verses 1-5. What was Daniel's position in the government of King Darius? Why did the other administrators and satraps try to find grounds to accuse him? What conclusion did they reach?

2. Read verses 6-9. What was the decree they persuaded the king to issue? What was the reason? Why was it put into writing "in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians"?

3. Read verse 10. When Daniel learned of this decree, what did he do? How could he pray without compromise despite the death penalty? How was Daniel’s uncompromising stand consistent with his previous decisions and actions? (1:8; 2:28; 4:27; 5:22)

4. Read verses 11-22. How was the king trapped by his own law? What was done with Daniel? How did the king spend the night? What did he discover about Daniel's fate the next morning? What was Daniel's testimony? What can we learn about God?

5. Read verses 23-28. What happened to Daniel's enemies? What was the testimony of King Darius? What can we learn from this chapter about faith and prayer?
