My Eyes are on You, Lord

There are times in life when you feel powerless.  Indecision has you paralyzed.  Fears and worries grip you.  A situation overwhelms you and you simply do not know what to do or say.  I am there right now in my journey of educating our children.  Do we homeschool?  Do we send them to public school? Do I homeschool one and not the other? If we do homeschool, what curriculum do we use?  What co-ops do we join (if any)?  And yet, I found such peace in 2 Chronicles 20 today, in Jehoshaphat's prayer as he and the kingdom of Judah go into battle against the Moabites and Ammonites.  When he and his men were facing a great multitude in battle and felt powerless, his prayer to the Lord was...

"We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” (2 Chronicles 20:12)

Exactly.

I do not know what to do.  But you do, Lord, as the Sovereign and Almighty God. 

And my eyes are on you, Lord!
