“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” – 2 Chronicles 20:12

Ever felt like that? Same.

This verse is so reassuring. It reminds us that not knowing what to do isn’t failure, it’s faith territory.

When King Jehoshaphat said these words, he wasn’t weak, he was wise. He didn’t have the answers, but he knew where to look.

You don’t have to have it all figured out today. You just have to lift your eyes. That is the posture of faith—uncertainty in your hands, but trust in your heart.

Let this be your quiet prayer today:

I don’t know what to do… but my eyes are on You, Lord.

Keep looking up. Keep growing, even in the not-knowing.

Em 💛
