And the Lord listened...

II Chronicles 30:9, 18-20 NKJV

For if you return to the Lord , your brethren and your children will  be  treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the Lord your God is  gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him.” For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord provide atonement for everyone who  prepares his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he  is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.” And the Lord listened to Hezekiah and healed the people.

Shalom! Day #187. Do you know that if you turn back to God,  repent and seek His face, He will not turn His face from you? Let's pray. Lord, we've prepared our hearts to seek You. Let not Your face turn away from us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, Amen!

There's a verse in psalms and it goes something like this, "the Lord doesn't despise broken and contrite spirit." If today you return to God, He gives you a second chance and welcomes you. God listens to the cry of a broken hearted. If a generation can turn back to God,  I believe that the generation will be healed and restored. God is able to do that.

In today's verse, God listens to the prayers of Hezekiah. "And the Lord listened to Hezekiah and healed the people." The prayers of a righteous man avails much. Let us turn to God, allow Him to break us and make us anew.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
