In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the\u00a0Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.2\u00a0<\/sup>Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the\u00a0Lord,3\u00a0<\/sup>And said, Remember now, O\u00a0Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.4\u00a0<\/sup>Then came the word of the\u00a0Lord\u00a0to Isaiah, saying,5\u00a0<\/sup>Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the\u00a0Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. 6\u00a0<\/sup>And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 38:1-6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

17\u00a0<\/sup>Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.18\u00a0<\/sup>And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.19\u00a0<\/sup>And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the\u00a0Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the\u00a0Lord\u00a0remembered her.20\u00a0<\/sup>Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the\u00a0Lord.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Max Lucado<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Prayer lays hold of God’s plan and becomes the link between his will and its accomplishment on earth. Amazing things happen, and we are given the privilege of being the channels of the Holy Spirit’s prayer.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Elisabeth Elliot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of complaining about what I don’t have or can’t do, I will go to God in prayer. I will put my faith and trust in God to meet my need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
