Hezekiah's Prayer

Who Is King Hezekiah King Hezekiah was considered the most righteous king during Israel’s divided kingdom period.

He humbly sought God in prayer and was delivered for his righteousness.

More Information: In this book, we tackle the nuances of prayer as a primer starting with learning objectives to guide what we hope will be useful to organize our thoughts on the subject of prayer with the final goal of being more consistent and devoted in our prayer life. We will draw our examples primarily from the life of Hezekiah, but will also pull in other related scriptures. Our focus on Hezekiah starts with his father, Ahaz, before looking at the circumstances that made Hezekiah the most dedicated king in the days of the divided kingdom. Next, we look at the two major prayers in the king's life and how God answered those prayers, focusing our study on what we can learn from his prayers and how God answered them. We conclude the book with a chapter on bringing the ideas together and putting the steps into action by creating a model for our prayer life to hopefully build a habit of consistent and effective prayer.
