Hezekiah, who was of strong faith, heard from messengers of Sennacherib, the Assyrian king, that he planned to come against Judah and Jerusalem. Because of his faith, he sent messengers to Isaiah to ask him to pray. Not only did Isaiah seek God, but he also encouraged Hezekiah that Assyria would not overtake them. And just like that, 185,000 Assyrian troops didn't wake up the next day and were laid waste by the hand of a powerful angel. Not only that, but Sennacherib's own sons took him out and then fled to another country.
When God is for you, your enemies cannot win! Don't get me wrong, sometimes it can look on the surface like you're losing, but God can see everything. It might take some time for him to work out the details and change others' minds so that things work out on your behalf. Don't give up when the situation seems daunting; know that God works things out for the good of those who love Him.
Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. Isaiah 37:36
