That Daniel be brought and put into a pit of lions

That Daniel be questioned before the court

That Daniel be kept under guard in the palace

Keep serving God steadily and trust him with rescue

Do whatever it takes to escape, even if it means giving up faithfulness

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned and I need your mercy. I cannot save myself from sin or judgment. I believe you died for me and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you to be my Lord and Savior. Deliver me, lead me, and make me yours. Amen.

Receive the One Who Delivers

Lord, revive your Church to keep serving you steadily when fear rises and pressure feels like a pit. Where we have become distracted, make us faithful. Where we have looked for human rescue first, teach us to trust your power. Renew our courage so our lives point to your saving strength, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Up Your People to Steady Faith

Father, for anyone walking into a situation that feels like a pit of lions, give calm courage and a steady heart. Guard them, sustain them, and let your rescue be seen in your time. Help them keep trusting you while the outcome is still hidden, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Courage in the Place of Fear

Thank God for seeing the threatened, for speaking hope into fear, and for being able to deliver when no human help is enough.

Thanks for Your Power to Rescue

Begin by naming the place that feels like a pit. Then ask God for steady faith, for courage to keep serving him, and for trust that he can rescue you even if nothing changes right away.

Pray Through a Season of Pressure

Pray for a person facing unfair power, fear, or accusation: that they would be kept safe, not lose heart, and know God's help is near.
