This is a prayer of King Jehoshaphat in Jerusalem. He had received reports of a large army coming to attack his people. He called his people together and in their presence He prayed to God for help. Now we may not face the attack of a large military force, but are there not times when we face problems that we do not know how to handle? We then need to confess to God that in ourselves we do not know what to do. And when we admit that we do not know the solution, we can turn our eyes to our Lord. We can look to Him for help and know that He will respond. We do not know what to do, but “our eyes are on You.”
