The Shadow That Walked Back Home | 2 Kings 16–25 | Come Follow Me Bedtime Story

Tonight’s Come Follow Me bedtime story is about King Hezekiah, a good king who loved God, prayed from his sickbed, and received a gentle sign that God had heard him. In 2 Kings 20, Hezekiah turns his face to the wall and prays. The Lord sends the prophet Isaiah back with beautiful words of comfort: He has heard Hezekiah’s prayer, seen his tears, and will help him. Then God gives Hezekiah a quiet, wonderful sign: the shadow on the dial of Ahaz goes backward. This peaceful scripture bedtime story helps children remember that God hears their prayers, sees their tears, and is near them in the dark.
