When We Don’t Know What To Do

POWERFUL GOD, sometimes we find ourselves in bleak situations, and we just don’t know what to do. In the Old Testament, when King Jehoshaphat heard that a vast army was marching against him, he was terrified. Immediately, he turned to you. He knew you were the powerful God of his ancestors. You alone are God in heaven, and you are ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth. No one can stand against you.

After reviewing some of the things you’d done in the past, this trusting king talked to you about the imminent crisis facing him. I love the way he ended his prayer, Father. “We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help.”

Mighty Father, for times when we find ourselves in the middle of our own desperate situations, Jehoshaphat’s prayer can be our prayer. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help.

Thank you that you heard and rescued Jehoshaphat. Thank you that you hear us and come to our aid today.
