Read:
Two kings in Jesus’ family tree, Asa and his son Jehoshaphat, faced armies they couldn’t beat. Both of them did the same thing: they admitted it.
Asa told God that only he could help the powerless against the mighty. Years later, when a huge alliance came against Jehoshaphat, he gathered the people and prayed one of the most honest prayers in the Bible: “We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help” (2 Chronicles 20:12, NLT).
He had no battle plan, and he didn’t pretend otherwise. And God answered him: the battle wasn’t theirs. It was God’s.
Sometimes faith sounds confident. Sometimes it sounds like “I’m out of answers.” Both count. If you’ve run out of moves, you’re not failing at faith. You might be right where faith begins.
Pray: God, I don’t know what to do, but I’m looking to you. Help me fight the battle I can’t take on by myself. Amen.
