What was the result of Jehoshaphat's prayer?
Prayer brought victory.
Verse 22 - The enemies rose against each other and killed each other.
Verse 26 - They assembled in the valley of Berachah and blessed the Lord, berachah means "blessing"
Verse 27 - Returned to Jerusalem with joy
Verse 29 - Fear of God came upon the land
Verse 30 - Jehoshaphat's remaining days were quiet and God gave them rest.

When Prayer brings victory, it also brings us blessings, great joy and rest for the rest of our lives.
