THE PRAYER LIFE #9

PAINTING: KING HEZEKIAH: 
17TH CENTURY  

  
I recently did Bible Study on King Hezekiah. I learned that he was a
great king and loved the Lord. He 
had a devoted prayer life.

Here are some of the scriptures that discuss the prayer life of King Hezekiah:

 

LIFE LESSON:

HEZEKIAH'S PRAYERS

2 KINGS 19:15 

Then Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said: “O Lord God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms

of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.

2 KINGS  20:3, 5

3 “Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how

I have walked before You in truth and 

with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

5“Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God

of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears;  surely I 

will heal you. On the third day you shall

go up to the house of the Lord.

2 CHRONICLES 29:1, 25-30 

1 Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem.  His mother’s name was Abijah the daughter 

of Zechariah.

²⁵ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the commandment of the Lord by His prophets.

²⁶ The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

 ²⁷ Then Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song

of the Lord also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel.

²⁸ So all the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

²⁹ And when they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed and worshiped.

³⁰ Moreover King Hezekiah and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praise to the Lord with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.
