Read 2Kings 3:9-11
"So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. They made a circuit of seven days' journey, but there was no water for the army or for the animals following them.
Then the king of Israel said, Alas! The Lord has called [us] three kings together to be delivered into Moab's hand!
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no prophet of the Lord here by whom we may inquire of the Lord? One of the king of Israel's servants answered, Elisha son of Shaphat, who served Elijah, is here."
When in trouble, dilemma or confusion, Jehoshaphat looks to God and His servants for help. What an attitude of dependency on God. When we are in such difficult situations, we let our hearts to be troubled and lose heart just the way Joram, king of Israel lost his heart. But wise thing to do would be to seek heavenly provision - the help from the God of Jacob, who is an ever present help in times of trouble (Psalms 46).
In trusting God, in submitting to God is the rest that everyone all over the world seeks. Here is the word of God from Bible - Isaiah 30:15
" For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength."
