LORD GOD, PLEASE HEAL OUR LAND!

LORD GOD, PLEASE HEAL OUR LAND!

LORD, Your word in 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) affirms, “If MY PEOPLE who are CALLED BY MY NAME will HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, then I WILL HEAR from heaven, and WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN and HEAL THEIR LAND.” LORD, have mercy on us and heal our land. We desperately need Your mercy, LORD GOD. When we look at our land/our world and see it getting worse and worse each day, it is heartbreaking. But, LORD, as I read and carefully examine Your word, I realize that You are waiting on us because You told us (Your people) what to do: (1) Humble ourselves, (2) Pray, (3) Seek Your face, and (4) Turn from our wicked ways. That’s all it would take for You to (1) Hear us, (2) Forgive us of our sin, and (3) Heal our land. LORD, because I trust You, I know You will do what You promised in Your word, IF we will do our part. I believe we can imply that If we (Your people) who are called by Your name WILL NOT humble ourselves, and WILL NOT pray and seek Your face (Your way of doing/conducting ourselves), and turn from our wicked ways, THEN You WILL NOT hear from heaven and forgive our sin and WILL NOT heal our land. LORD GOD, forgive us, open our eyes and hearts so that we will do our part, those FOUR simple commands in 2 Chronicles 7:14, which if followed, will allow You to heal our land. LORD GOD, please change our hearts so that we will be doers of Your word and not hearers only. Please forgive us, LORD!
