“If my people, those whom I have called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, if they will seek my face and turn from their sin, I will hear their prayers from heaven, I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land,” says the Lord.  “For my eyes are open, and my ears are listening, to the prayers of my people.”   2 Chronicles 7:14-15
