Thank You, Lord, for hearing my tearful cries and answering! Thank You for Your light of peace and hope that splits the darkest of my episodes. Though the world pull away and deem me unworthy, You will shine Your countenance upon me and give me peace. Your name is upon me by Your power and authority, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.

“Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, and said, ‘Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.’ And Hezekiah wept bitterly. And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying, ‘Go and tell Hezekiah, “Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: ‘I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years.’”‘” (Isaiah 38: 2-5 NKJV)
