Daniel Bible Study(A Youth Bible Study Lesson On Prayer And Trust As Preparation And Encouragement For Exams)
The Daniel Bible study is ideal to use for kids who are preparing for exams or tests.
Scripture reading: Daniel 6
When you have to prepare for exams, you cannot help to feel overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the situation:
So your nerves might be at end…
As Christians, we know that we can pray that God must help us in situations like these. Let’s follow Daniel’s example through this story.(Daniel Bible Study) 1 - What did Daniel do? He continued to pray to God, because it was the right thing to do. Everybody else was praying to the king. What must we do while learning for exams? We should study enough, prepare well and do what is right – in other words, not cheating by making notes on the palm of your hand or the like. We should continue to be honest, even if everybody else has some or other cheating agenda. We should be brave when everybody else is scared of the exams. We should not follow the crowd if we know it’s not the way to go. If we are still scared after praying, then we do not really put our faith in God. Then we actually declares that God does not have the power to help us - and we know that this is not true! Look how He sent an angel to rescue Daniel.
2 – What did Daniel do? He continued to pray even when he did not know what was going to happen to him. What must we do? God expects from us to keep on doing our part, even if we do not know what is written in that exam paper. No matter how scary and uncertain it might be to others – we should stand firm and not be influenced by other children’s negative comments of fear.
3 – What did Daniel do? He trusted God, regardless the outcome of the situation. He put his trust in the Lord, regardless the uncertainty of the situation. And us? We should trust God, no matter our emotions. We cannot permit our emotions of fear to control our decisions. So even if you are filled with feelings of fear, do not rely on those feelings and do not let those feelings keep you from praying. Do not allow feelings of fear to rob you from your peace and joy that you can find in Jesus. Fear is not from the Lord! Decide not to be scared - it all starts out in our minds... Things to remember from Daniel's story(Daniel Bible Study)
