Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the Lord. 6I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own honor and for the sake of my servant David.’”

Now I will walk humbly throughout my years because of this anguish I have felt.16Lord, your discipline is good, for it leads to life and health. You restore my health and allow me to live!17Yes, this anguish was good for me, for you have rescued me from death and forgiven all my sins.

Lord God my Father,

Discipline me and keep me humble, create in me on obedience to bring honor to you in how I care for myself and others. Give me boldness to be your light where ever you send me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
