Hezekiah is a hero of faith for me, he was a man who knew what to do when he faced the uncertain, not that he didn't react like you and I, or that he didn't get scared and struggle, but that wasn't all he did; he fell to his knees and sought the Lord.

I love this portion because it tells us a few things about how God responds to the prayers of His children:

1. When we pray God is listening, (vs 5)
2. He cares about our circumstance. (vs 5,Psalm 56:8)
3. He can extend my life and destroy the enemy

Remember today:

• We serve a sovereign God 
• He is able to do the impossible
• He is listening to you
• He cares about what you care about.
• He loves you immeasurably 
• He is working on your behalf

1 About that time Hezekiah became deathly ill, and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to visit him. He gave the king this message: “This is what the lord says: Set your affairs in order, for you are going to die. You will not recover from this illness.” 2When Hezekiah heard this, he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the lord, 3“Remember, O lord, how I have always been faithful to you and have served you single-mindedly, always doing what pleases you.” Then he broke down and wept bitterly.
4But before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, this message came to him from the lord: 5“Go back to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the lord. 6I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own honor and for the sake of my servant David.’” ~ 2 Kings 20:1-6
