The Power of Prayer

Happy Mid-Week Wednesday - this is your Spiritual Wednesday Wonder

How often do you pray?  I use to think once in the morning and once in the evening as well as before meals was sufficient.  But that does not light a candle to what we should do.

The whole day needs to be a constant conversation with God and with that being said Hezekiah, a king in Judah, fell ill and a prophet came to him and told him to wrap up his life; that this was the end for him.

Isaiah 38

 ¹In 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 LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

 ²Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,

 ³And 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. 

 ⁴Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, 

 ⁵Go, 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.

Hezekiah did what any wise person would do; he prayed and prayed hard.  He put his credentials on the table before the Lord and before the prophet could get off the king's grounds, the Lord had him return to Hezekiah.  The news was his prayer was heard and answered.

God added 15 years to the life of Hezekiah.  This is the power of prayer.  It works with anything and not just with your life on the line.  It works with your job, career, business, marriage, children, and your health.

Visit with God constantly it is part of the development of you.  Take care

In Jesus name
