Prayer
(What is the repeated word for today?)
- Will I turn from my pride and seek the Lord’s mercy?
- Will I turn from my sinful ways and listen to the Lord?
- Do I hear the Lord’s call on my life to follow Him?
2 Chronicles 32:24-26
In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. He prayed to the Lord, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign. But Hezekiah’s heart was proud and he did not respond to the kindness shown him; therefore the Lord’s wrath was on him and on Judah and Jerusalem. Then Hezekiah repented of the pride of his heart, as did the people of Jerusalem; therefore the Lord’s wrath did not come on them during the days of Hezekiah.
