2 Chronicles 14:11
And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
Asa offered this prayer when Judah, with its smaller army, stood against a vast and much larger Ethiopian force, choosing to rely on God rather than on fortified cities and a large, well-trained army. The opening affirms that it is nothing to God to help, whether with many or with those who have no power, regardless of size or strength. He asks God for help, declaring that Judah rests and relies on Him and goes against the multitude in His name, pleading that mere human power not be allowed to prevail against God.
The prayer expresses faith in a crisis despite the inequality of strength, placing trust in God as the source of victory. Asa was able to rely on God in adversity because he had sought Him in prosperity. God answered the prayer by defeating the Ethiopians so that they fled, showing that He gives victory in response to such trust.
The prayer is a fitting prayer for every Christian in conflict with evil spiritual powers, teaching believers to place their hope in the living God rather than in human strength. With full assurance of faith, believers may expect God to join His power to human effort for the glory of His name, and clothed in the armor of His righteousness to gain victory over every foe.
