I read this week about the man who was suffering a great deal of insecurities, and he went to see a psychiatrist.

He told the psychiatrist, he said, you know, I'm exhausted. I haven't slept in a long time.

I am having sleepless night after night after night. The psychiatrist said, tell me about it.

He said, when I go to sleep at night and as soon as I begin to doze off, I wake up thinking that

somebody's under the bed. And he said, there's never anybody under the bed. So I go and look.

And then I go to sleep again. I walk up again, thinking somebody's under the bed.

So I take the pillow and I go to sleep under the bed.

And as soon as that I go under the bed and I begin to feel that somebody is over the bed.

And he said, so I go under the bed, on the bed, under the bed, under the bed, all night.

I can't sleep. I'm exhausted. Doc, can you cure me? And the doctor said, I think I can cure you. He said, what do I do? He said, well, you got to come and see me twice a week for two years. It will cost you $100 a visit. He said, Doc, he said, I'm a working man. That's too steep for me. I can't afford that. He said, well, that's it. There's no other way to cure you.

Well, a week later, man goes away, calls him, Doc, I'm not coming back. I'm cured. He said,

what happened? He said, my wife cut the legs of the bed.

Smart woman. Now, Nebek had Nazar didn't have a wife like that who could have helped him.

Because in chapter two of the book of Daniel, and here's the most

powerful man in the world was having sleepless nights. He's up and down until he's exhausted.

He was tormented by his insecurities. He was taunted by his anxieties. He was terrorized by his fears. And this

torment began, as the Bible said, about the second year he got on the throne. A second year.

When he became a king, he began to see this dream. Night after night after

night. More like a nightmare. It kept on reoccurring. Until it drove him crazy. In fact,

the Bible indicates that he was outraged and his insecurities turned into anger. His insecurities turned into rage as in most

cases. And so I wanted to look with me in Daniel chapter 2 under three headings. Versus 1 to 14

of Daniel 2, you find the fear of the godless.
