The Lord Is Near To Those Who Call On Him – King Jehoshaphat’s Prayer

Throughout the Bible, God reveals that total dependence on Him will always lead to Deliverance and Victory!

Whether facing life’s routine duties, or the many unexpected challenges, hardships, and impossible battles, Jesus, our Mighty Warrior invites us to use our faith to Pray, Ask for His Help, and Wait on Him. And while waiting, we continue to praise Him with prayers and songs of gratitude.

King Jehoshaphat’s Prayer: 2 Chronicles 20

5 “Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord in front of the new courtyard,

6 and said, ‘O Lord, God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven? And do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, there is no one able to take a stand against You.

7 O our God, did You not drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Your friend Abraham? 8 They have lived in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your Name, saying,

9 ‘If evil comes on us, or the sword of judgment, or plague, or famine, we will stand before this house and before You (for Your Name and Your Presence is in this house) and we will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear and save us.’

10 Now behold, the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom You would not allow Israel to invade when they came from the land of Egypt (for they turned away from them and did not destroy them),

11 here they are, rewarding us by coming to drive us out of Your possession which You have given us as an inheritance.

12 O our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless against this great multitude which is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.'”

The most powerful aspect of this prayer is the acknowledgement of God’s Sovereign Authority and Power:

‘O Lord, God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven? And do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, there is no one able to take a stand against You.’

And the second most powerful aspect of the King’s prayer reveals his humility, faith, and surrender to the Most-High God:

‘We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.’

Praising God before He intervenes reveals that we are using our faith to completely trust in His Omnipotence and gives Honor and Glory To His Most Holy Name:

“Jehoshaphat bowed with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the Lord, worshiping Him.”

“The Levites, from the sons of the Kohathites and the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel, with a very loud voice.” (2 Chronicles 20:18-19, Amplified Bible).

God’s Reminder to all of His Sons and Daughters: God’s Promises do not have an Expiration date. Yes and Amen!

“Listen carefully, all [you people of] Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat. The Lord says this to you: ‘Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” (2 Chronicles 20:15, Amplified Bible).

Lord God, our hearts are filled with praise and gratitude for giving us the Holy Scriptures with stories of men and women, who used their faith to pray, ask, and believe that Your Promises to help us are Truth, and Yes and Amen! Lord, today on your Blessed Holy Sabbath, we confess that we have faced many challenges this week, attempting to resolve them using our human thoughts and strategies. And for our doubt and unbelief, we ask for forgiveness. Lord, we have come to our spiritual senses, realizing that we can do nothing without You. and now, Lord, in faith, we seek You, asking for Your Divine Help, believing that you will give us Deliverance and Victory. We also ask for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit’s Presence, and the Blessings of wisdom and strength. With faith, trust, and praise, we honor and worship You on Your Holy Sabbath. In Jesus’ Loving and Righteous Name, we pray, Amen.

Sabbath Peace and Blessings!

Happy Blessed Sabbath! Ask Yahweh to Fight Your Battles

Set aside personal time with God every day. Solitude and Silence are necessary to hear the Voice of God. Prayer invites God, the Holy Spirit to speak to us through our thoughts, our conscience, and the Holy Scriptures.

It is God’s will for us to depend on Him in every aspect of our lives. We desperately seek His intervention when facing dilemmas, but our Heavenly Father also desires to give us guidance in the routine matters of life.

Dependency on God alleviates anxiety, worries, and prevents suffering the guaranteed consequences from relying on our thoughts and human wisdom.

Make the commitment to trust God with your life. Faith, even if it is weak, is strengthened by the Holy Spirit, who empowers us with the wisdom to view life through spiritual eyes.

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? (Jeremiah 32:27).

Facing battles? Put your faith and trust in Yahweh! He is a Mighty Warrior who always wins. Believers, it’s time for us to depend on God, and live as Victorious Overcomers! Yes and Amen!

Lord God, You are so awesome. We thank You for all of the love and attention that You give to us, everyday of our lives. We repent for having a spirit of ingratitude. Lord, we commit to spending more time with you in personal worship. We are facing battles that we cannot win without your Divine Help. And we thank You in advance for giving us the victory. Thank you for the Sabbath. As we worship You, we pray for the spiritual blessing of strength to persevere in our earthly journey. We ask this prayer in faith and in the Loving Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

God Is the Help to Those Who Seek Him

I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

“The psalmist affirmed, ‘The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night” (Psalm 121:5–6).

“No matter what we face, day or night, the Lord stands over us as a protective shield. Through every trial and storm, God is our constant shelter and refuge (Psalm 46:1; 91:1; Proverbs 18:10). Our good and loving Lord will protect us from every evil (Psalm 121:7).”

“If a believer should ask you, ‘Where does my help come from?’ You can offer them this remarkable assurance: At all times, no matter where you go, and for as long as you live, the Bible declares, ‘Your help comes from the Lord!’ ” (Psalm 121:8).

Lord God, we thank you for giving us the Holy Scriptures that reveal Your overwhelming love for us and Your desire for us to put You first in our lives. We commit to living a consecrated life, dedicated to following Christ, our Savior, Redeemer, Protector, and Triumphant King who is coming soon. In faith, we ask this prayer in the Righteous Name of Jesus, Amen.

Holy, Holy, Holy, LORD God Almighty!

“From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.” (Psalm 113:3).

We have received many priceless blessings this week including God’s Ruach Breath flowing through our body and angelic protection from spiritual warfare and physical danger.

Expressing Prayers and Praises of Gratitude invites the Holy Spirit to give us abundant peace, joy, and happiness even when we are experiencing tough times in the dark valley of trials.

Do you feel loved? God’s Love is Everlasting and all that we need, yet, we receive so much more. It is impossible to count our blessings.

Agape Love is always between the Giver [God] and the Receiver [You and Me]. Have you expressed your love everyday for Yeshua, our Savior, Shepherd, and Triumphant King?

“…I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1).

Take some alone, quiet time to offer Praises [Pray, Sing, and Read the Scriptures] of Celebration to Jesus, our Redeemer, Intercessor, and Mediator.

Lord God, we lift Your Holy Name with praises of gratitude for Your Amazing Love and Steadfast Faithfulness. We pray for the blessing of spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical renewal as we celebrate your Holy Sabbath. Yeshua, we love You, and ask this prayer in your Holy Name, Amen.
