Believing in God during trials provides strength and assurance based on His promises, as seen in Jehoshaphat's prayer.
Belief in God is foundational during difficult times because it anchors the believer's hope in His sovereignty and goodness. In the midst of impending battle, Jehoshaphat instructs the people to 'believe in the Lord your God' (2 Chronicles 20:20), emphasizing that faith is essential for discernment and strength. This belief reinforces trust in God's character and His past faithfulness, enabling believers to face trials with the confidence that God is ultimately in control. The community’s collective belief also shows that faith is strengthened when shared, affirming the importance of congregational prayer and worship.
