Daniel 10:7-12

7Only I, Daniel, saw this vision. The people who were with me did not see anything. But they became very afraid. They ran away to hide themselves.

8So I was there alone to see this great vision. All my strength disappeared. My face became very white. I was very weak.

9I listened to the man's voice. When I heard him, I fell down, with my face on the ground. I was completely asleep.

10Then a hand touched me. It helped me to get up on my hands and knees.

11The man said, ‘Daniel, God loves you very much. Listen carefully to what I say to you. Stand up now, because God has sent me to you.’ When he said this, I stood up. But my body was still shaking.

12Then he said to me, ‘Daniel, do not be afraid. God has listened to your prayers since the time that you first turned to him. You wanted to understand about God. You put yourself under his authority. So I have come to bring the answer to your prayers.
