At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
Right then, my mind cleared up completely. My reputation, my royal status, all the respect I'd lost, it all came flooding back. My advisors and officials started seeking me out again, wanting my input. I got my throne back, and honestly, I ended up with even more power and influence than before.
When God restores you, he doesn't just bring you back, he brings you back better.

In the Book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon experiences a divine judgment that causes him to lose his mind and live like an animal for seven years, as foretold in a dream about a great tree symbolizing his kingdom. This humbling ordeal was intended to demonstrate God's ultimate authority over human rulers and to teach Nebuchadnezzar the importance of humility. After this period of madness, he regains his sanity and is restored to his throne, acknowledging God's sovereignty.
