The Jehoshaphat Prayer:
Dear Lord, the God of our ancestors, the God of Heaven. All power and might is in your hand, and no one can withstand without you. Your word declares that if calamity comes upon us whether by the sword with death, punishment because of judgement, plague through the sickness and disease, or the lack of food due to famine, we could stand in your presence and cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us. Well Lord, the death angel is raging in our community and its SPIRIT has consumed the minds and hearts of our young people. We have no power to defeat the SPIRITUAL enemy that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, so we look to you for wisdom, strength, protection and mercy. AMEN.
(II Chronicles 20:6-9)
