“Is Prayer Your Last Resort?” June 16
What is the very first thing you do when trouble comes?
Do you pray? Or do you immediately begin making phone calls, researching solutions, worrying, planning, and trying to fix the problem yourself?
Most of us believe in prayer. But too often, prayer becomes our last resort instead of our first response.
In today’s reading, King Hezekiah faces a crisis so overwhelming that there is no human solution. Yet instead of panicking or relying on his own wisdom, he takes the problem straight to God.
And in the process, he demonstrates something many of us need to learn: prayer isn’t just about getting God to solve our problems. It’s about seeking His glory above all else.
