Your Prayers are Heard

Isaiah 38:2. Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, 3. And said, Remember now, O Lord, 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. Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 5. Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, 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.
Thought for the Day: Your Tears Have Not Gone Unnoticed.
Reflection for the Day: Your Prayers Will Make A Difference.
Hezekiah prayed to the Lord for healing and when he saw Isaiah, he anticipated a positive answer to his prayer. The news was not what he desired, Hezekiah was told that he was going to die. He refused to accept this news as final, but instead, turned his face to the wall and prayed. His petition and tears went before the Lord and they did not go unnoticed. God added fifteen years to his life.
In the midst of your greatest challenges, do not give up. Though you feel that not even God is listening, your tears have not gone unnoticed. The odds may appear to be against you, but God is listening, and at the proper time change will come. Your prayers will make a difference.
