Prayer Begins with Honesty
Hezekiah begins his prayer by acknowledging the terrifying reality of the situation. Commentators note that he doesn't deny the Assyrian king's boasts; he affirms the truth that Assyria has indeed conquered many nations. This models a powerful form of prayer that starts with honesty before God, not minimizing the crisis at hand.
