What titles or attributes or descriptions of God help you to draw near to Him in this moment? How have you seen His faithfulness in the past? Ask God to open the eyes of your heart, to review His mercies past, and draw you more deeply into His presence.
The following is a prayer guide that traces the narrative of 2 Chronicles 20:1-30 in times of crisis.
“We have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us;

What do we do when we face a crisis that overwhelms us and strikes fear in our hearts, something that exposes our weakness and inadequacies? We turn to God. We ask Him to intervene, to stand in the gap between us and the storm.
The people of ancient Israel faced such a crisis. A vast army was advancing against them. Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, led them to seek the face of God. He prayed: “For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You” (2 Chron. 20:12). But these are only reasons, admissions, groundwork. His petition sought the intervention of the Almighty, “O our God, will You not judge them?”
