Pray, Seek, Turn 2 Chronicles 7:14

There is a misconception that God hears everyone who prays. That’s not what the bible says. The devil deceives us into imagining, as I have imagined, God some sort of naive father figure able to be suckered by any manipulating kid for ten more minutes at the park. Other unrepentant souls think, as I have thought, God’s inaction to their prayers a sign of His ignorance, uninterest, heartlessness, or impotence.

But God is not a man. God cannot be mocked. 

“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 and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

No one is more ready and willing to hear, take action, forgive, heal, restore than God. No one can do more to save the world—than the Son of God. No one can change the darkness of a heart like the Spirit of God.

“One who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has heaven and earth at their disposal.” –Charles Spurgeon
