2 Chronicles 20:1-12
Prayers is really conversing with God. It becomes more enjoyable, deeper and meaningful as we pray within the context of who our God is
How did we do that?
By integrating our theology with prayer
Problems are so big but the resources are too little. When times like this happens, what better thing is there to do when you don't know what to do but to pray?
3 Rhetorical questions can shape our prayer life :
1. Lord, the God of all our ancestors. Are You Not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you.
(vs. 5, 6)
2. Our God, Did You Not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?
(vs. 7)
- Remember the transformation of your life
- Truth read & heard with application to our lives will cause our faith to arise
3. Our God, Will You Not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you
(vs. 12)
Psalm 121:5
He is your shade at your right hand
- shade literally means a shadow in Hebrew. Shade means a shield, a shelter
Why do we pray?
Because we believe the battle does not belongs to us, it belongs to God. That's why we pray instead of running around looking for answers and solution. Our shoulders are not wide enough to carry our burdens
A great prayer prayed by a great king to a great God.
