Family discussion questions

Use these around the dinner table, in Sunday School, or for companionship study — each comes from this week's chapters.

  1. Why is 'I don't know what to do, but my eyes are on You' one of the most powerful prayers in scripture?
  2. What does Jehoshaphat's example teach about the relationship between worship and victory in our lives?
  3. Why do you think God chose to deliver Judah through praise rather than through fighting?
  4. What would happen if you tried 'praising your way through' a difficult situation this week?
  5. Is it hard for you to admit 'I don't know what to do'? Why do you think admitting that to God actually opens the door for His help?
  6. What area of your life right now feels like three armies coming at you? What would it look like to put your eyes on God?
  7. What battle in your life do you need to hand over to God instead of trying to fight it yourself?
  8. What does it mean to 'rest on' God the way Asa did? How is that different from just hoping things work out?

Sample questions from this week's game

Three entire nations had joined forces to destroy the small kingdom. The king had no army strong enough to resist. He gathered his people at the temple and prayed the most honest prayer of his life: 'We don't know what to do.' Then God spoke through a prophet: 'The battle is not yours.' The next morning, instead of soldiers, the king sent SINGERS to the front lines. As they lifted their voices in praise, the three enemy armies turned on each other in confusion and completely destroyed themselves. When the people of Judah arrived at the battlefield, there was no one left to fight—only spoils to collect for three solid days.

2 Chronicles 20:14-25

Show answer

Jehoshaphat's victory through praise — Jehoshaphat's victory is one of the most unusual military triumphs in the Bible—the army never fought! God responded to their worship and prayer by turning the enemy armies against each other. It took three days just to gather all the spoils. This proves that praise is not just something we do after God helps us—it's a weapon in the battle itself.

Three massive armies are marching toward your city at the same time. You have no military strength to stop them. Your people are terrified. As king, what do you do?

2 Chronicles 20:3-12

Show answer

Declare a fast, gather everyone to the temple, and pray: 'We have no might, but our eyes are upon thee' — Jehoshaphat's prayer is remarkably honest—he admits he has no power and doesn't even know what to do. But then he says the most important words: 'our eyes are upon thee.' This teaches us that admitting our weakness and looking to God IS the solution, not a sign of failure.
