bible 2Chronicles:6 -
kjv@2Chronicles:6 > > RandyP : Popular thought has it that if one is religious/prayerful all should go well and these problems be avoided. This is not what is prayed here; it is prayed that when these things happen here is what to do. Surely, there are evils that can be prevented, the individual has a much greater hope of benefiting from this lifestyle, but, some things cannot be avoided especially when looked at as a group/nation.
