Pastor Donnie Johnson uses the story in Isaiah 36 and 37 as an example of what Christians should do when faced with scary situations, whether real or imagined, that cause anxiety and worry. In that passage, King Hezekiah was faced with a very real existential threat when Jerusalem was surrounded by the threat and might of the Assyrian Army, bent on destroying the King and his capital city. How did the king respond? And what did the Lord do for Hezekiah?

The word "mindset" doesn't appear in Scripture, but it does appear flipped around as the phrase "set your mind," and is very important, according to Pastor Donnie Johnson in part 2 of his teaching series, "Love God with All Your Mind." For example, the way that you think about God, yourself and the world affects your prayer life greatly, and other essential elements of the Christian life.
