Reflection questions:

1. Is Hezekiah a good king or a bad king in this passage? Why or why not?

2. What does Hezekiah teach us about prayer in this passage? What similarities do you see to the opening of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6?

3. Why is God’s power made perfect in our weakness? See Isaiah 37:36; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Exodus 14:13-14.
