πŸ“– Verse of the Day

β€œGo back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, β€˜This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the Lord.”

Reflection

Have you ever received news that felt like the end of your story? One moment Hezekiah was leading a nation, the next he was facing death, turning his face to the wall as tears became his only prayer. The prophet's words still hung in the air: 'Put your house in order.' Final. Devastating. Hopeless.

But between his tears and heaven's answer was only a courtyard's distance. Before Isaiah could even leave the palace grounds, God stopped him with words that would change everything: 'I have heard your prayer; I see your tears. I am with you.'

Don't miss the tenderness here. The God who commands armies of angels notices tears. The One who holds the universe together pauses for a broken heart. He doesn't just seeβ€”He responds. He doesn't just hearβ€”He moves. No committee meetings in heaven, no lengthy deliberations. Just pure love answering pain.

Maybe you're facing your own impossible today. Let this truth sink deep: the same God who noticed Hezekiah's tears is noticing yours. Your tears aren't wasted. Your prayers aren't ignored. Between your pain and His comforting response might only be a courtyard's distance.

Ask Yourself

  • What burden can I pour out to God today, trusting that He hears and cares?

  • Is there a prayer I have given up on, that I need to bring before God again?

πŸ™ Prayer of the Day

Dear Father,

Some days my heart is so heavy that words fail me, and tears are my only prayer. Thank You for catching every one of them. Thank You for meeting me in my brokenness, even when my prayers are messy and my emotions are raw.

Today, I bring You my deepest hurts, trusting that You not only hear my cries but hold my heart. Help me rest in the truth that You are already working, even when I can’t see it. Thank You for loving me always.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

β€œOur prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.”
