" Let Him Pray"

        Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and

            prayed to the Lord, and said, "remember now, 

                O Lord, i pray, how i have walked before 

                        You in Truth and in loyal heart"

                                     Be Isaiah 38 : 2

    There is a verse in the book of James that we often take for

granted because it is so simple. It says, "Is anyone among you 

suffering? Let him pray"(Isaiah 5:13a).That's simple and straight

Forward no hidden Doctrines, no mind teasers. If you're suffering, 

pray. And yet, some of us find this very hard to do. We want sol-

ultion We want the pain to go away. We want to do something 

that will make our situation better. We try every means necessary, 

and yet when the day's done we have failed to do the one thing 

scripture tells time and avain to do pray.

    This was what Hezekiah did. He was suffering. He was dying

a horrible death. He had no heir to take his throne after him, and 

he still had worries about enemies storming the gates. When 

Isaiah came to him and told him that he was going to die, Hezekiah

heart was heavy, but didn't allow his grief and fear to keep him from 

doing the one thing that would really helps. He went into private

( the text say he turned his face to the wall ) and he prayed to the 

Lord. Like David, he spoke of his faithfullness and love for the Lord,

and his desire to continue living in the presence of the Lord. Then,

after praying Hezekiah "wept bitterly." He was in pain, he was afraid,

and he was suffering greatly. Would his father in heaven hear him 

and give the comfort he so sorely needed?

     The Lord answerd him through the prophet Isaiah: "I have heard

Your prayer. I have seen your tear; surely I will add to your days 

fifteen years." What a tender interchange between God and His 

beloved child, one of His chosen servants who was filled with pain

and grief. God reached out to Hezekiah in response to his humble

and sincere prayer, He promised to heal him.

      In the years following tjis incident, Hezekiah had a son named

Manasseh. The king would now have an heir to his throne, and when

Hezekiah died ( his son was 12 years old at the time ). He died 

content, for he knew the kingdom would go to his son in keeping

with the line of David, and he knew he himself would be with God.

      Hezekiah didn't allow his doubts and fear  to get in the way of 

Turning to his Father in heaven. May we follow  this godly king's 

Example and go to the Lord when we are in pain, or frightened, or 

Grieved. May we do as James said: pray. And i read this chapter in 

Isaiah 38:2 the Holy Spirit reveal to this song to write, the lyrics of

 and the melody of the song.
