2 Chronicles 20:12 — “We have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
Philippians 4:6–7 — “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Jehoshaphat did not pretend he had options. He named the size of the threat and looked up. Paul did not tell the Philippians the trouble was small. He told them where to put it. That is the ground you pray from.
