We have shrunk prayer down to a small thing treating it merely as personal therapy or a quick ritual before meals. While it manages our anxiety, we have lost sight of something magnificent: prayer changes the course of history. Grounded in 2 Kings 19:19, this daily devotional looks at King Hezekiah, who faced an impossible siege by the terrifying Assyrian army. Instead of panicking, he spread the enemy's taunting letter out before God and prayed a focused, bold prayer that saved a nation. History bends at the knees of those who truly pray. Discover why your private, sincere prayers carry the weight to shift the world around you.
