I Will Heal Their Land

Prayer carries a staggering promise—“heal their land”—yet our experience often feels marked by silence and unmet expectations. Scripture calls us to pray boldly and persistently, but the tension reveals that prayer is not a transaction for outcomes; it is a covenantal practice of alignment. From 2 Chronicles 7:14 to Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane, God invites honest asking and lament, while using prayer to form us rather than bend to us. Unanswered prayer is not failure or lack of faith—it stretches desire, clarifies hope, and deepens trust. In the end, prayer heals the land by first healing and aligning the people who pray.
