isaiah 37:14-20...
then hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord and spread the letter before the Lord. Hezekiah prayed to the Lord saying, "O lord of host, the God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and listen to all the words of Sennacherib, who sent them to reproach the living God. Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated all the countries and their lands, and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them. Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, Lord, are God.
O to be like Hezekiah
who brings his cares to the Lord
who when faced with the weight of the world
is anxious for nothing
but in everything brings it before the Lord
with trust, with prayer, with petition.
Who knows the reality of the one true God
the maker of heaven and earth
Lord reveal yourself to man, for that is man's deepest need.
