At another time, war was rising against me from the people of Moab as well as the people of Ammon and Mount Seir.

What did I do?

I set myself to seek God, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

We cried out to Him saying ““For 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”

• A prophet from God came and told me that the Lord says “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s”

• He told me that even though we were going to war, we would not have to fight, but that God will be with us and deliver us.

• So we went in to war singing and praising God, saying “Praise the Lord for His mercy endures forever”

• We went back to Jerusalem singing and praising God for He had fought for us and delivered us.

Prayer is…• Feeling God’s presence!• Lifting my heart up towards Him• The more I speak with God, the more I build a relationship with Him, the

more I can become like Him.• Christ will abide in us and we will reflect His beauty to everyone around us.• When we do this, our friends at school will want to get to know God more.• People will see Christ in us. • We become true Children of God, a living Bible.• Everything I do will be prayer; walking, sitting, sleeping, going out and so on. • We can pray all the time.• Don’t forget that God is always with me. • When you do any of your daily tasks, do it with the spirit of prayer.
