And Hezekiah wept bitterly.  Then came the world of the Lord to Isaiah, saying.

My God has sent His angel an d has shut the lions” mouths so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent and blameless before Him; and also before you, O king ( as you very well know) I have done no harm or wrong 111 Tim 4:17…

And steadfast love, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne this day.  Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant kings instead of David my father, and I am but a lad in wisdom and experience): I know not how to go out (begin) or  come in (finish)..Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people who cannot be counted for multitude.  So give Your servant and understanding mind and hearing heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and  bad.  For who is able to judge and rule this Your great people? ( James 1:5)

7)   Pray for clothing, shelter and  food   -     Matt 6:25-34

“Therefore I tell you, stop being “perpetually uneasy ( anxious and worried)  about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on.  Is not life greater (in quality) than food, and the body (far above and more excellent than clothing?   Look at the birds of the air; they  neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them.  Are you not worth much more than they?  And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? (Ps39: 5-7)  And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow: the neither toil nor spin.  Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his magnificence ( excellence, dignity, and grace)  was not arrayed like of the these ( 1 Kings 10:4-7)  But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you,  O you of little faith?  Therefore, do not worry and be anxious saying.   What are we going to have to wear? For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. But seek (aim at strive after)  first of all  HIS KINGDOM and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.  (His way of doing and being right) and then all  these things taken together will be given you besides.   So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own.  Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
