II 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. [Read verses 9 through 12 for the context.]
Asa's prayer was fervent and sincere, he "cried unto the LORD his God." Asa's prayer was personal, "unto the LORD his God" and not directed somewhere else or to someone else. Asa's prayer was specific, "help us, O LORD." Outnumbered two to one, he didn't beat around the bush. Asa's prayer was believing: "for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God..." Asa's prayer was answered: "So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled (v. 12)."
