PRAY 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 Part 2 of 3

"When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance."
