- Three choices in how to pray -

Consider reading the following verse this way...

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray,
seeking my face (which is turning from their wicked ways)
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

~ Works that Work ~

Then, watch God begin to heal the hearts and lives of people.
