Second Kings, chapter 20, King Hezekiah's prayer, to meditate for a moment on the power of prayer, as we have done throughout the week. And we have examined the right, the privilege of praying before God from different aspects, and we have touched on different dimensions of prayer. Our desire is to enrich your prayer life, to show you that the Bible itself teaches us that God wants us to pray, to cry out to him, that there is nothing impossible, there is nothing outside of God's reach, there is no fear, there is no situation of our life, there is not a circumstance, there is not an act, a problem of our life that does not have a possible solution in God and in approaching the throne of grace.
God himself invites us saying that we confidently enter the throne of grace to receive timely help. The writer Santiago also says that when someone is sick, pray, and the prayer of faith will heal the sick. He says that if we lack wisdom, what does he say? Ask God. And how does God give? With a teaspoon, with a drip, a dropper? It says, who gives abundantly.
