Some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from the other side of the Sea. It is already in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi). Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the LORD and proclaimed a fast for all Judah. The people of Judah came together to seek help from the LORD; indeed, they came from every town in Judah to seek him. (2 Chr 20:2-4 NIV)

Prayer: LORD, nothing takes You by surprise. You have already seen the solution before bad news reaches my ears. When I receive a troubling report, help me seek your understanding and direction. Even when I am fearful, peace will come as I trust You because You are greater than any circumstance. Thank You for caring about everything that concerns my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
