Isaiah 38: 2-3 reads: "Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, and said, 'Please, O Lord, remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.'" Hezekiah was pleading with the Lord to heal him. God answered by adding 15 years to Hezekiah's life. In this way, he argued in his distress because Sennacherib (2 Kings 19: 15), " And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said: “O Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth." The point I want you to see is that distress brought Hezekiah to a place of desperation in his prayer life. If you want to shake off spiritual slumber, GET DESPERATE. You can't be in spiritual slumber and desperate. The Lord Jesus Christ is coming again and soon. Do you have unsaved family members or friends? It is time to plead for the lost. Ask the Holy Spirit to awaken the lost with His conviction for sin. Get specific. Get in your prayer closet and pray as if someone's life depended on it (because it does)! Let our Lord hear your desperation.
