Isaiah 37:14-15
"Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messenger, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord".
This was the verse from my devotions today and it reminded me that Hezekiah got the answers fro the Lord already and was sure of what God had said, but he still went up and talked to God all the more. Hezekiah's willingness to pray indicates that while the promises of God are sure, we should not be afraid to pray even after we have received them. As we seek the Lord's face, He brings His purposes to pass, as He has ordained that our prayers are a means by which He fulfills His words to us. That is why, for example, we pray for the Lord Jesus to return. His return is sure, but the Lord will bring it about as His people pray to Him. So do we pray to God and talk to Him even when we know the outcome and answers? We can be sure and confident in God through our prayers when we talk to Him and He grows us more like Him, through our prayer life.
