Do you not know what I (Sennacherib) and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands able at all to deliver their land from my hand? Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed who could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?
Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like this, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?āāā

God’s Glory in Prayer
Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count.
Psalms 40:5 NASB1995ā¬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.40.5.NASB1995
The wonder of God . . . His creation, from the universe all the way to the tiniest molecule . . . is simply amazing.
There is something that is simply amazing to me.
I am so thankful when God gives me opportunity to pray, especially for others. I talk with God all day long and it is wonderful to know that He hears me and answers my prays but it is spectacular when you pray for others and get to share the experience of God with them. It is amazing seeing the movement of God at work in them, myself, and the answers that reveal His glory!!
This past week God has given me opportunity to pray for others. It blesses my heart when someone trusts me enough to take their concern to the Lord.
What a privilege to share their burden with them in prayer. I have been blessed to pray for a couple at church as they take a journey for the Lord. To be asked to pray for a blogger sister-in-Christ. To pray for friends who are struggling in their walk. A blessing to be asked to pray and to be used by God for the sake of others.
Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you;
1 Samuel 12:23a NASB1995ā¬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1sa.12.23.NASB1995
But my favorite part of prayer is sharing in the answer. When God answers!! When I am able to rejoice with others in praise to God. When I get to see the glory of God.
