With Your Child:
Has there been a time you prayed with your child and God didn't answer the way he/she hoped? If it's recent enough to talk about again, remind them about God's purpose in our lives and how even when it feels like the answer to our prayer is no, God is still at work. You can read this passage together and talk about how brave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were to tell the king they wouldn't worship another god even if the true God didn't save them. Talk about how we can show that same trust when we pray to God as well.
