2 Chronicles 14: No one besides you to help
Read 2 Chronicles 14:1-15 before you meet.
In a few lines
Asa's word for leaning on God, "we rely on you" (14:11), is the word Hanani later turns on him: "Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God" (16:7). And his prayer ends not "against us" but "Don’t let man prevail against you" (14:11).
The verse to carry
“Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, LORD our God; for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. LORD, you are our God. Don’t let man prevail against you.””

To talk about
1. Asa used the quiet years to seek the LORD and to build (14:4-7). If you are in a quieter season now, what would it look like to use it the way he did?
2. "There is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength" (14:11). Where do you need help right now that you can't give yourself, and what would it mean to pray Asa's prayer there?
3. Asa ended, "Don’t let man prevail against you" (14:11), not "against us". What would change in something you're facing if you brought it to God that way?
