Sufficient Grace for Tears in the prayer room 🙏 (Hezekiah)
By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba
Psalm 50:15
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
HEZEKIAH CRIED TO THE LORD IN HIS SICKNESS
Isaiah 38:1- 3
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. 2Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, 3And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
GOD SEES YOUR TEARS
Psalms 56:8
“You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?”
Isaiah 38:4-5
Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, 5Go, 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.
No tears are shed that God does not notice. There is no smile that He does not mark. – {Steps to Christ p. 85.4}
If we would but fully believe this, all undue anxieties would be dismissed. Our lives would not be so filled with disappointment as now; for everything, whether great or small, would be left in the hands of God, who is not perplexed by the multiplicity of cares, or overwhelmed by their weight. We should then enjoy a rest of soul to which many have long been strangers. – {Steps to Christ p. 86.1}
Psalm 107:18-22
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. 20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
DON’T BE TOO SOPHISTICATED TO PRAY WHEN YOU ARE SICK YOU WILL DIE WITHOUT GOD AND WITHOUT HOPE‼️
2 Chronicles 16:12-13
And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians. 13¶And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
James 5:14-16
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Jeremiah 8:22
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
