Have a boy who is popular lots of friends all laughing joking around. All of a sudden the popular kid starts crying all his “friends” make up reasons why they have to leave. The kid is left alone, and a Christian kid sees him crying and explains that he needs to ask Jesus into his life. If we have Jesus in our life we are never truly alone. He tells us in the Bible that he is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Object lesson – Climb in a box even when we think we are all alone God is still just like when I climb in this box I can’t se anyone but you are still there all I see is me but that doesn’t change the fact you are right outside my box. When you feel all alone you need to remember that God is always there even if we don’t see him.
Object lesson – we are never alone with God – Nothing we can do can separate us from the love of God. Take a glass and add food coloring to it.

Bible Story: Daniel 6:6-24
Daniel loved the Lord greatly. He prayed every day 3 times a day. Daniel was a good leader and some people were very jealous of him. They thought they could get rid of him. The jealous men tricked the king into writing a new rule and said Daniel was not obeying the king! Daniel was thrown into a lion’s den. The king was very sad and upset because he was tricked into throwing Daniel into the lion’s den. The king ran to the lion’s den and cried out to Daniel. Daniel answered the king saying that the Lord had sent an angel to shut the lions mouths. The king had Daniel taken out and he ordered the jealous men to be thrown to the lions.
