2 Chronicles 7:14

RepentanceHumilityPrayerForgiveness

12 the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

13 If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,

and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

16 For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
