Daniel got put in an impossible situation, like so many of us are put in.

He was sent away from his home, and put under all new conditions.Then asked to change his language, change his name, change how he ate, change his God, and obey or be killed.A study of what God and Daniel did about it teaches us a lot.

God was in control of Nebuchadnezzar, God only let him go so far with the free will he had been given.When old Neb went too far, God sent him out to even eat grass with the cows.God didn’t make him treat Daniel in a Godly way at all, what God did was stand by Daniel, so with God’s strength Daniel could make it through the trouble sent him.I notice that in all Daniel’s prayers to the Lord, asking God to take old Neb’s free choice away from him and lead him to a right way of acting wasn’t part of his prayer.Daniel accepted that his part was only to handle where he was in the best way possible.

There is no such thing as an "impossible situation"!! The word impossible says I'm possible!! If we sit back and do nothing, then obviously we're going to stay stuck in that situation. But if we are pro-active and rely on God to help us out of it, then the impossible becomes the possible. :)
