Scripture
2 Chronicles 7:14 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 forgive their sin and heal their land.

Observation
This is God's answer to Solomon's prayer. The people had come together in unity, obedience and sacrifice. This is a powerful statement of what is required to witness the power of God in our lives.

Application
Four things I need to do to hear from God; humble myself, pray, seek His character and turn away from evil. God really spells it out here. How many times do we ask, "What should I do?" or "How can I know God's will?" This is the answer.

Prayer
Father, help me to turn from evil, to know you better, to pray and be humble. As I accomplish those things with your help I will see your salvation and healing in my life. Amen
