Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. --- 2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT As a Nation I think this verse is more significant right now than it ever has been. We can turn this country around if we would repent of our sins and turn our eyes to God. In chapter 6, Solomon asked God to make provisions for the people when they sinned. God answered with four conditions for forgiveness: (1) Humble yourself by admitting your sins, (2) pray to God, asking for forgiveness, (3) seek God continually, and (4) turn from sinful behavior. True repentance is more than talk---it is changed behavior. Whether we sin individually, as a group, or as a nation, following these steps will lead to forgiveness. God will answer our earnest prayers. --- Life Application Study Bible note PRAYER Dear Heavenly Father, Lead me to repentance if I have been unfaithful to You. Please forgive my sins, my heart and my ways. I praise You for Your mercy endures forever. Help me turn away from the wicked and seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness. I ask for a fresh spiritual awakening and revival in me. I pray that You would graciously hear me and send me Your much-needed healing. In Jesus’ name Amen
