Prayer If I ever shut off the supply of rain from the skies or order the locusts to eat the crops or send a plague on my people, and my people, my God-defined people, respond by humbling themselves, praying, seeking my presence, and turning their backs on their wicked lives, Ill be there ready for you: Ill listen from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land to health. 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 NLT When Solomon had built the temple and consecrated it to God. His prayer made provision for the fact that the people would turn and grow selfish in the abundant blessings God would provide for them. Solomon did this because he was well aware of the history his country showed in turning from God in the good times. In difficulty and adversity however, they would pray because they knew God would bail them out. 2 Chronicles 6:26 NLT Solomons plea for God to continue to hear the prayer of the people when the affliction of their sin has done them in. Gods response is succinct yet powerful. All God is looking for in these moments is humility and connection. If my people who are called by my name would humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land. A repentant prayer would not only cause our difficult situation to dissipate but it would also bring us healing and restoration. A sincere and earnest prayer would turn moments of famine and lack into a legacy harvest and abundance. This is why prayer is the lifeblood of any person connected to God. It is our way to ask for an escape and point us in a direction where we can see the love of God cover our sin. This is what we should want for our society, and our generation. Lets humble ourselves and pray to bring healing to our land. Dont make prayer a religious exercise. Just talk to God; He wants to hear your voice.” Let every detail in your life , words, actions, be done in the name of, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step. Col3:17”NLT Trust in God God bless
