Prayer a Way of Escape
Isaiah 37:14-38
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD…


I know an ancient castle on a high rock, which used to be garrisoned by soldiers. From inside the castle a long, winding passage, cut out of the solid rock, and called Mortimer s Hole, leads right away under the town, and opens up at a great distance. It was the way of escape for the garrison in a case of extremity. Prayer is such a door of deliverance, and no man can shut it.
