"They cried out to God during the battle, and he answered their prayer because they trusted in him. So the Hagrites and all their allies were defeated." ~1 Chronicles 5:20, NLT
If you recall, the tribes of Gad, Rueben, and Manasseh lived on the opposite side of the Jordan from all of the other tribes. There were several other people groups in the area, notably here the Hagrites. The three aforementioned Israelite tribes went to war with these groups. And that's where we come to the above verse.
Why were they successful? They seemed to be in a heap of trouble at the beginning of the battle, but the Hagrites and their allies were defeated. I would attribute two factors to their victory - they trusted God, and they knew they were His children. They cried out to God, and trusted in His love for them!
God can overcome your mountain with you. Trust in His promise to love and take care of you as His child!
