when did daniel learn to trust God? daniel did not build his faith in the lion's den, he built it long before the battle ever came. he trusted God because he spent time praying, seeking Him, and staying faithful even on ordinary days. sometimes we want strong faith only when life gets hard, but faith is built in quiet moments, through prayer, trust, and consistency. because when hard times come, you do not rise to the moment, you stand on the faith you built long before the battle.
