Meanwhile Daniella recently advised her followers that even if it takes time to find "clarity", you shuldn't be "endlessly worrying".
She said: "You are not always going to have the answer to your problems. It may take time for you to gain clarity over a situation.
"Instead of endlessly worrying, allow divine intervention to ease your anxieties. Have faith that clarity will be found.
"Remember you have a track record of getting through some difficult times. Don’t let temporary disruption make you forget the multiple times you overcame adversity. (sic)"
