Humble, Pray, Seek, and Turn

"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." — 2 Chronicles 7:14

There are conditions for the fulfillment of the promise given to God's people:

Humble Themselves: Recognizing our sinfulness in light of God's holiness fosters humility. It takes humility to acknowledge our guilt.

Pray: A heart humbled by guilt instinctively turns to prayer, seeking God's forgiveness.

Seek the Lord's Face: Seek His presence, His Word, and His power.

Turn from Wicked Ways: Repentance for sin is genuine if we stop committing it.

When these four conditions are met, the Lord has promised to hear, forgive, and heal.
