Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Isaiah chapter 38 verses 4 through 6.

Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah.

Go and say to Heseakaya, thus says the Lord, the God of David, your Father,

I have heard your prayer.

I have seen your tears.

Behold, I will add 15 years to your life.

I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the King of Assyria

and will defend this city.

Wow, what? An answer to prayer.

So Hezekiah is sick and at the point of death in Isaiah chapter 38 and Hezakaya turns his face to

God and praise and says in verse three please oh Lord help me heal me and he's

weeping before the Lord verse three says he's weeping bitterly and in response God tells Isaiah to go to Hecoc kinda and tell him

I've heard your prayer and I've seen your tears and you're not going to die.

I'm going to add 15 years to your life and I'm going to deliver you in the city out of the hand of the King of Assyria.

I'm going to defend the city, which is also what Hezekiah has been praying for.

Now there's a lot of questions that come up when you hear a passage like this because all of us who have walked with God have found ourselves praying and even weeping for things and God has not answered in the way that we hoped.

But this is where I want to remind you and it's see all over scripture over and over and over again.

And I want to encourage you with this that God hears every single one of your prayers, your cries to him.

Not one of them is unheard by him. God hears your prayers and he sees your tears as you're

calling out, crying out to him for things in your life, for things in others lives.

God hears all your prayers,
