"Our eyes are toward you." ? ?

[Bible Speaks]

"Our eyes are toward you."—2 Chron. 20:12

How do you make weighty decisions in life? Do you perhaps decide first and then pray to Jehovah to bless the decision you have made?

Consider what Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, did when the combined forces of the Moabites and the Ammonites came up against him to wage war. “Jehoshaphat became afraid and set his face to search for Jehovah,” says the Bible. He declared a fast for all Judah and collected the people together “to inquire of Jehovah.” Then he stood up in the congregation of Judah and of Jerusalem and prayed. In part, he pleaded: “O our God, will you not execute judgment upon them? For in us there is no power before this large crowd that is coming against us.” The true God heard Jehoshaphat’s prayer and provided a miraculous deliverance. (2 Chron. 20:3-12, 17)

When making decisions, should we not rely on Jehovah rather than lean upon our own understanding?
