"Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, '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."
God does hear our prayers although He does not always answer them the way we hope. This did not stop Hezekiah from pleading with God. No matter how bright or bleak the future may look, the most important thing we can do is to have our eternity taken care of. Have we made Jesus our Lord and Saviour? Have we discovered His love? Next, we ought to be honest with God. A good friend is an honest friend. God seeks our honesty. We can tell Him when we're afraid or sad or discouraged. We should also remember to share our excitement and gratitude with Him.
