When we think about our children in crises like the lion's den ...

When Daniel was thrown into the lion's den,

King Darius said to him, "May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you"

(Daniel 6:16).

The next day, Darius, having risen early in the morning,

 rushed to the lion's den and, with a worried voice, called out to Daniel,

saying, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God,

whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?" (vv. 19-20).

As I reflect on this passage,

I believe that when we think about our children in crises like the lion's den,

it is natural for us to be deeply worried and concerned.

However, we should also believe that our God,

whom we serve continually, will rescue our beloved children in times of crisis,

and we should earnestly pray to the living God for them with faith.
