Then the whole assembly agreed together to keep the festival for another seven days; so they kept it for another seven days with gladness. For King Hezekiah of Judah gave the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for offerings, and the officials gave the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. The priests sanctified themselves in great numbers. The whole assembly of Judah, the priests and the Levites, and the whole assembly that came out of Israel, and the resident aliens who came out of the land of Israel, and the resident aliens who lived in Judah, rejoiced. There was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon son of King David of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. Then the priests and the Levites stood up and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; their prayer came to his holy dwelling in heaven.

2 Chronicles 30:23-27

Prayer meetings are miracles. We each talk and pray to God, and He listens and answers each one of us in His own way. Hezekiah had a great Passover celebration. He called for the Israelites to join him in Jerusalem for praise and prayer. Multitudes came for what turned into a two-week long worship service.

The miracle goes on today. Today, throughout the world, millions of people are praying to God. Rejoice in knowing that He hears each prayer.

God hears you, whenever, wherever.
