2 Chronicles 20 After this the Moabites and Ammonites, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat for battle. Some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A great multitude is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the sea… Then Jehoshaphat was afraid. Are you afraid today? There may be something that overwhelms you. Something that is crushing you. When you rise up and when you lie down to sleep there is a great weight on your heart. You are thinking, planning, working, pushing, trying to fix it, busy, running around, sweating. What does Jehoshaphat do? He set his face to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah assembled to seek help from the Lord. [He says to God in prayer] “we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” They fast. they pray. They admit their powerlessness. They put their eyes on God. This is what we must do. Fast. pray. admit our powerlessness. and put our eyes on God. G
