I read 2 Chronicles chapter 20 this evening. It is such a powerful story, and I strongly encourage you to take a moment and read it. Jehoshaphat, when faced with a major battle and terrible odds, turned in his fear not to his own strength or the strength of an ally, but to God. When I face difficulties, my tendency is to try to overcome it in my strength, which leads inevitably to failure. If I would but learn to rely on God in my battles, I would find Him overwhelmingly powerful on my behalf. When I am afraid, I need to learn to turn my eyes to Him, not myself.
