Take it to the LORD in prayer - 2 Chronicles 17-20

Jehoshaphat was not a perfect King but he was known as a good king for God.   When faced with trouble and difficulty he knew what to do:  He took his problems to God in prayer.   If you read 20:5-12 you will read one of the most powerful prayers in all the scripture.  When we take our issues and problems to God we acknowledge that we can't solve the problem ourselves.  Many of the problems we have are simply to drive us into a conversation with God.   Problems should not be the only reason we come to God in prayer but we should not shy away from Him over problems either.   This prayer should be studied in depth but I love that he recognizes God's sovereign rule in his life as he begins his prayer.   He knows that God is in control and nothing is going to happen unless God wills it.   That is the beauty of prayer - we know God is in charge.  We can pray harder and stronger when that truth is acknowledged first.
