Seeking God in Your Problems
“And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. So Judah gathered together to ask help from the LORD; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.”
2 Chronicles 20:3-4

Ponder This
What would happen in America if people just got together to seek the Lord? When we seek the Lord, He shows up. In the Book of Matthew, Jesus said, “where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (18:20). And when we come together to seek the Lord—not to try to solve poverty, not to entertain ourselves, and not to get America delivered from her enemies—we will be in one accord. When we’re united, we will be far more capable of addressing these other problems and serious needs. But we cannot bypass the one thing that we must do: come together to seek the Lord.
When you have a problem, it is important that you focus your eyes on God. You need to glance at your problems and gaze at your God. It is time to come to God, confess that we don’t know what to do, and fix our eyes on God. We need to look to Him as the God who can deliver us—the sovereign God, the steadfast God, the sympathetic God. We need to come to God and pray out of faith in who He is rather than fear the problem.
- When have you been overwhelmed with a problem? Did you give it to God?
- How can you remind yourself of who your God is when you’re facing a problem?
Practice This
Pray and give God your problems and praise Him for who He is, even when you are facing difficult situations and feel overwhelmed.
