I'm Heather Crespin. Thank you for joining me again on Bedtime Bible Stories for adults.

I want to thank Jonathan, Haley, Daniel, and Amy for their support of this podcast.

Every donation is much appreciated.

Tonight, we will be hearing the next three chapters of Daniel that come after the fiery furnace

episode. These chapters cover three different kings, Nebuchadnezzar, Belchazar, and Darius.

There is a lot going on.

Another disturbing dream, riding on the wall, and a lion's den.

Because of Daniel's faithfulness, God gave him wisdom and impressive abilities,

and favor with each of these kings, even though other leaders were out to get him.

It's easy to want to please those around us. But people

pleasers often carry a lot of stress because we can't make everyone happy. The only

one we need to be concerned with pleasing is God.

God promises to protect us if we are faithful to Him.

I say this often, but I pray that my own faith would grow to be just as strong.

More often than not, I hear in my head,

O ye of little faith.

I'm praying for all of us in that area.

So close your eyes and put the day behind you.

God is taking care of everything.

Trust in Him.

Sweet dreams. Take a deep breath in and breathe out slowly.

Relax your forehead and brow.
