Because You Prayed

We begin a brief series called A Sober Spirit of Prayer, based on the verse in 1 Peter 4:7, Be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. We will look at three stories about King Hezekiah in Isaiah 37-39, today’s story titled, Because You Prayed. We will look at the Problem facing King Hezekiah, his Prayer, and the Prophecy by which God answered that prayer. By way of preliminary application, I assume that every one of us at times faces problems way beyond our ability to resolve, that we too pray, and that the Lord does answer. My hope is that, not only will be encouraged more to “take it to the Lord in prayer,” but that we will learn from Hezekiah to pray better.
