Isaiah 37 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO

Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria…“ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭37‬:‭21‬ ‭‭- The king of Judah, Hezekiah, has heard the enemy’s message of destruction that was promised to come his way. Terrified and aware his own power would never be enough to stand against such an enemy, Hezekiah brings this whole situation to the Lord in prayer. We also see the end result within this chapter of God rescuing His people and destroying their enemy in a mighty way. Take note though of God’s response to Hezekiah. “Because you have prayed to me.” All that took place, the rescue of God’s people and the destruction of the enemy, took place because Hezekiah prayed. Meaning if the king didn’t come before the Lord and didn’t pray, we would likely have seen a very different ending to this story. Know and believe your prayers matter. Also know and believe the absence of your prayers matters. Prayer is the space in which we get to approach the Lord of All and speak with Him as our Father. He hears, He moves, and He also will withhold if our posture isn’t about coming to Him. Come to the Father, bring your requests before Him, His eyes and ears are attentive to the prayer that is made by His people. I love you, but Jesus loves you more - Mac

Question To Ponder: What might have not happened in your story if you didn’t pray about it first?
