(The Book of the Prophet Daniel Chapter 4 verse 2)
Dear brothers and sisters, it is my pleasure to share all the wonderful events that God my Father has done for me throughout my life. He has intervened many times and saved me from many situations where both my body, soul and mind were at risk Amen.
³ How great are his signs how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and his sovereignty is from generation to generation.
(The Book of the Prophet Daniel Chapter 4 verse 3)
Oh God, my Father, there are no words in this world that can explain the beauty and might of Your Wonders and signs. I thank You for the many people that You have used as signposts in my life and for how many You are using to this very day. Amen.
⁴ I, Nebuchadnezzar, was living at ease in my home and prospering in my palace, ⁵ I saw a dream that frightened me; my fantasies in bed and the visions of my head terrified me.
(The Book of the Prophet Daniel Chapter 4 verses 4 to 5)
Oh God my Father during that night in Summer when I was still 17 years old when You spoke to me, I was also afraid by the dream and its message so much that my heart started beating ever so fast that I thought that I had a heart attack coming. Today I thank You for such and experience because it left a positive mark in my life forever. Amen.
⁶ So I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, in order that they might tell me the interpretation of the dream.
(The Book of the Prophet Daniel Chapter 4 verse 6)
Oh God, my Father many times we use all the available options in order to know our future. We go to people such as fortune-tellers and even psychologists and counsellors in order to share our feelings, however every time we miss the mark, for we are to give God a chance in our life, and He will lead us on the right path which is healthy for us Amen.
⁷ Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners came in, and I told them the dream but they could not tell me its interpretation.
(The Book of the Prophet Daniel Chapter 4 verse 7)
Oh God my Father many people go to fortune tellers in order to discover their future and end up manipulated and at the mercy of the fortune-teller who makes money out of their problems and difficulties. I pray that we share our issues with people of God who can give us a better perspective of how to view a situation Amen.

⁸ At last Daniel came in before me he who was named Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and who is endowed with a spirit of the holy gods and I told him the dream:
(The Book of the Prophet Daniel Chapter 4 verse 8)
Oh God my Father You intervene at the right time and send the right chosen people to save the day, so that Your will may continue to unfold to this very day. Even though we might not understand why certain things may take place, my prayer is one and only my God and Father:-
"May Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!" Amen.
⁹ O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that you are endowed with a spirit of the holy gods and that no mystery is too difficult for you. Hear the dream that I saw; tell me its interpretation.
(The Book of the Prophet Daniel Chapter 4 verse 9)
Oh God my Father You have control over our thoughts and even over our dreams wishes and aspirations. You know what we are about to think before we even think it. I give You praise and thank You for being so close and active in my life Amen.
¹⁰ Upon my bed this is what I saw; there was a tree at the centre of the earth, and its height was great. ¹¹ The tree grew great and strong its top reached to heaven and it was visible to the ends of the whole earth.
(The Book of the Prophet Daniel Chapter 4 verses 10 to 11)
Oh God my Father such trees may symbolize our ambitions in life, the idols whom we wish to follow and many other agendas that You may and even not approve of. All of our plans are accessible to You and You have control over their being fulfilled or not. Oh God I give You all my will and all my life. Before I had a plan to get married and have a family, but apparently this was not according to Your agenda. Today as a Social Worker among Asylum Seekers I am a separated person and a symbolic father of many people who call me their 'papa'. Amen.
