“Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. So Judah gathered together to ask help from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.” (2 Chronicles 20:3)
King Jehoshaphat of Judah found himself in a dire situation. Surrounded by a formidable alliance of enemies, he received alarming news of an approaching army intent on his destruction. Faced with overwhelming odds, despair threatened to consume him. Instead of succumbing to fear, Jehoshaphat made a pivotal decision: he turned to God for help. He prayed earnestly, acknowledging their powerlessness, and declared, “Our eyes are upon You” (2 Chronicles 20:12).
In response, God reassured Jehoshaphat: “Do not be afraid nor dismayed… for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord” (2 Chronicles 20:15–17).
With unwavering faith, Jehoshaphat led his troops into battle, choosing an unconventional strategy: he sent the worshipers ahead of the army, armed solely with their voices. As they praised God, a miraculous turn of events unfolded—the enemy turned on itself, leading to their own destruction.
Perhaps you are facing your own seemingly insurmountable challenges. It may feel as though there’s no way forward, but remember: God sees what you cannot. Turn to Him in prayer, and watch how He moves in your situation.
“You are not alone in this struggle. Your future lies in the hands of a loving God who desires to bless, heal, and protect you.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I seek Your strength in this battle against the shadows of depression and hopelessness. Illuminate my path with Your divine light. Grant me resilience and healing as I navigate these challenges. Help me to be gentle with myself during moments of regression, and instill in me the courage to pursue Your ways. I am grateful for the love of my family and friends. Lead me to find peace, joy, and fulfillment in my life. Today, I choose to prioritize You above all else. Fill my heart with compassion and a desire to uplift others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
