When King Darius signed the law that anyone who prayed
Be cast into the lions’ den, then Daniel undismayed,
Knelt down to pray three times each day, a window open wide,
Although some jealous men were watching him outside
They hurried to the palace court in wicked, spiteful glee,
Demanding that this favoured prince should pay the penalty.

Then King Darius grieved in vain; he neither ate nor slept.
The unchanging had been signed; the order must be kept.
An angel locked the lion’s jaws and stilled their savage roar,
While Daniel spent the night in peace upon the dungeon floor.

Pray when you’re faced with obstacles; pray when the way is clear;
Pray when you feel you’re being watched; pray when no one is near.
Pray when your day is going wrong, and when it seems alright;
Look to the Lord at early morn, at noontime, and at night.
Don’t limit God because your faith is wavering or small,
But come to Him with every need, He’ll surely hear your call.
`Ada L. Wine
