Here’s a poem inspired by Daniel’s courage and his unwavering faith in God:
Daniel’s Courage
In a foreign land, I stood alone,
Before a king, before a throne.
Their laws decreed my faith to hide,
Yet still, I knelt; God was my guide.
Though whispers rose, though plans were laid,
I sought the Lord; I was not afraid.
For lions roared, their den prepared,
Yet in my heart, God’s peace was shared.
“Do not fear,” His voice declared,
“My servant walks within My care.”
The mouths of beasts, He shut them tight,
His angel stood with me that night.
Through trials fierce, through schemes of men,
I rose with faith and strength again.
For courage comes when hearts are true,
To Him who saves, to Him who’s due.
O king, I say, let all proclaim,
There’s none as great as His great name.
For in the fire, the den, the storm,
His power keeps His children warm.
So like Daniel, may I stand tall,
With faith unshaken through it all.
For God is near, His strength my own,
And in His care, I’m never alone.
This poem draws inspiration from Daniel 6:10 (Daniel’s unwavering prayer life despite the decree) and Daniel 6:22 (“My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions”). It highlights Daniel’s courage to remain faithful to God, regardless of the cost.
