Nebuchadnezzar had a dream he couldn’t remember. He commanded that the magicians and astrologers reveal it and interpret it for him. However, they were unable to do it, so he told the captain of the guard to kill all of them, including Daniel and his companions, who weren’t even given the chance to interpret the dream. When the guard came to kill Daniel, he asked if he could have some time, and then he would show the king his dream and its meaning. Daniel then asked his companions to help him pray for God to reveal the dream. God showed him the dream, and the captain of the guard hurried him before the king to tell him what none of the magicians could do because it was God who gave the details of the dream to Daniel. Daniel and his friends were so grateful that they blessed God for his wisdom and might, giving Him credit for the revelation. Part of his worship showed that God is the one who places kings and removes them. We can also see that God protects those who trust in Him. Daniel had ultimate faith that God would show him the truth. We should all have faith like Daniel. 

He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. Daniel 2:22

But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. Daniel 2:30
