Lord, Heal Our Land

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.

          Our land needs God's healing. The healing of land by God starts with the people of God. As the children of God, let us humble ourselves before God, pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy” - 1 Peter 1:15,16.

 Humble

         We can see God’s favor when we humble ourselves to God. Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord - Proverbs 16:5. He does not forget the cry of the humble - Psalm 8:12. These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word – Isaiah 66:2.

          Pray           

        God instructs us to “pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). You do not have because you do not ask - James 4:2. Ask and it will be given to You - Mathew 7:7. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth - Psalm 145:18.

Seek His face

          God calls us to seek His face always. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always - Psalm 105:4. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart -Jeremiah 29:13. Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on him while He is near – Isaiah 55:6.

 Repent

          Repentance leads to salvation of God. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord - Acts 3:19. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded - James 4:8.

          As we humble ourselves, pray and seek the face of God and turn from our wicked ways, God who keeps promises will hear us from heaven, forgive our sins and heal our Land. “I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more” (Jeremiah 31:34). Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things - Joel 2:21.

                                                  

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We humble ourselves before You. We plead for Your divine intervention and healing in our land. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
