Now Solomon lays out specific request to God in his prayer in II Chronicles 6:
If sin occurs, please forgive us.
If rain is lacking, forgive us, and open the heavens.
If famine occurs, show us our errors, forgive us, teach us
your ways, and provide.
If foreigners show up, hear our prayers so they too may
believe.
If we go to battle where you send us, show up and maintain
our cause.
Every request is made in humility and repentance and asking
God for his mercy, his ways, and his purposes.
When we pray, our hearts must always be turned in a posture
of repentance for any wrongdoing, poor attitude, or sin against God or a
neighbor. In keeping our hearts pure
before him, we in turn are able to pray about outward things that concern us,
knowing He hears and will answer.
It’s all about Him, His purposes, and His goodness.
Even when we are in need.
