Wisdom and power are His

Daniel 2:1-24
Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his mind was troubled and he could not sleep. 
What the king asks is too difficult. No one can reveal it to the king except the gods, and they do not live among humans. 
Action 1:Daniel went in to the king and asked for time, so that he might interpret the dream for him.  
Action 2:Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 
During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven.
Praise be to the name of God for ever:.
1)wisdom and power are his.
2)He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.
3)You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.   
Daniel had only  just graduated when he was faced with this test. The interpretation of dreams was a well established role of the Babylonian magicians and the rest. But anyone can come up with an interpretation, and who is to tell which is right - so Nebuchadnezzar devises his own test. Daniel believes that God can reveal the dream as well as its meaning, and has the faith to pray for this.
Why?
Daniel has the faith that the Lord knows the dream and knows the interpretation. 
Yes, none can make interpretation of the dream of king except God.  
Pray to the Lord with faith, for God is powerful and wisdom are his. 
More people come together pray to the Lord has more power in faith.
How?
No matter what trouble has come before the Lord and pray with faith. For wisdom and power are His.
