START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
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.
I HAVE HEARD YOUR PRAYER / ISAIAH 38:5
God’s statement that Hezekiah must prepare for death and Hezekiah’s response in prayer to God (Isaiah 38:2) teach us some important truths for our relationship to God.
- All the things that God declares about the future are not necessarily unchangeable (John 3:1-10). Often God will describe a situation the way it will be if people continue on a particular path or do not respond as they should to His message. No matter what happens when we are confronted with tragedy, we can be assured that God cares about what happens to us. He is compassionate and sensitive to our experiences and will always do what is best.
Our prayers do have an effect on God, His purposes and the way He works out His perfect plan. We cannot force God to change His plans or cause Him to do things He does not want to do. Rather, our payers often allow us to understand what God desires to do if we are willing to change and come into agreement with His purposes. This means that what happens in our lives or in the life of the church is determined by both God’s plan and our prayers. He gives us a real part in deciding our course of action, directing the outcome of situations and fulfilling His plans. We always must be convinced of the Scriptural truth that prayer does change things (Isaiah 38:4-7; 1 Kings 21:29; Ezekiel 33:13-16; James 5:14-15).
